SIMPLY WHY WOULD YOU GET A ROBOT TO DO SOMETHING BADLY FOR YOU WHEN ITS THE ONE THING A HUMAN WILL BE BETTER AT
Assuming ai progresses even linearly (no agi, singularity, brain computer interface etc. scenario needed) at least 75% of the jobs will be replaced easily (any sort of driving or barely human repetitive labor like fast food, service workers, factory and warehouse...)
As more and more low IQ jobs are automated by AI even if there is theoretically space to be filled in other fields those people will simply be too dumb and untrained for them.
Machines will slowly creep to the right of the iq distribution and swallow more and more jobs. At a certain point there will be literally NOTHING productive you can do for society if youre under 110iq.
There will be mass migration from 1st to 3rd world attempting to capitalize on the decade or two until the technology catches up, since its easer to ship smart meat than machines that need you to bring all the infrastructure.
The worst thing is that the west will NOT become much more productive in general (at least not as a consequence of this guaranteed AI job takeover), as the whole system isnt outputting more its just using AI instead of the dumbest humans. If the people had something productive to do the economy would boom, but this isnt like previous automation mass layoffs where you just go into an office to escape the machines and ultimately contribute more to humanity than you wouldve in the place of that machine. This time THE EARTH literally has nothing for these people to do. There is no excess ray of sun, rock, liquid or gas you can help us harvest. There's nothing you can make for us. Theres nothing for you to organize, supervise, menage,check up...
Even if you sat at home manufacturing something actually useful you would be so inefficient compared to machines that it would be worth pennies, effectively making it not worth the food and water you consumed to make it, your body as a physical machine will be obsolete.
Thus nearly everything done and produced by humans only holds value in terms of the human perception of it: as art, entertainment, a souvenir of the past.
Humanity finally completely plunges into this pseudo-reality we have been dipping our toes in for the last couple centuries, leaving previously neccesary utilitarian views of the world behind. We are already mostly there, most of what we do and create has no actual use or value for humanity. It only serves to bounce light into your eyes and look nice, or put happy chemicals in your brain. Even essential things like food, water and shelter have become 90% decadence and 10% utility. And even if we somehow agree to not use this technology we will know our life is an illusion, that our suffering is unnecessary and self imposed, a game of pretending there is a reason to get out of bed
This is the final form of the industrial revolution.
All of the money in the system will trickle down from the few people with jobs / companies throwing pennies at us like circus animals.
People will become a commodity like everything else, just cheap empty pleasure with no substance or purpose. There will be an attempt to sell human connection, friendship, community and sex. They will all have a neat little app to order it as if its a pizza.
Were already seeing this with how transactional hookup culture is and every ig thot with more than a 3 digit following having an onlyfans. Vanity and degeneracy will continue to rise like it did in the last 20 years. "Looksmaxxing" will not even be a word or concept anymore, it will be the operating system of the slave class, plastic surgery and every other possible tool will be completely normalized.
Everyone attractive will be a prostitute.
All the rejects who arent attractive enough for prostitution will become tiktok style micro celebrities, influencers and lolcows.
Normies will sell services of being raped, tortured and degraded bdsm style for the increasingly psychopathic, sadistic and narcissistic elites.
The truly worthless people will sell their living body for science experiments as guinea pigs for increasingly transhuman technologies.
Anything useful your body makes will be harvested: organs, blood, hormones...
The women will be reduced to incubators as its the only thing a machine cant replace them at.
Eventually we will even put people back into fast food restoraunts, service booths etc. not because they are useful per se, but just to have a monkey in the building to dance for people that come in, to pretend that things are normal. They will just use all the AI machines and act as an intermediary between them and you to keep the illusion of humanity intact. They will be trained as "professional humans", taking body language, voice, language, personality etc. classes.
In short you will be either an actor or at least extra for the show were putting on, as there is nothing else for you to do.
The pay will be just enough to survive and waste away your own life on empty pleasure, ensuring you dont reproduce.
(i think dont have to tell you which of the "jobs" i listed will be for you if youre ugly and socially awkward)
AND THIS IS ALL ASSUMING NOTHING DRASTIC HAPPENS, NO WW3, NO AGI, NO BLACK SWAN EVENT, NO BIOTERROR SUPERVIRUS, NO CLIMATE DISASTER, NO MASS DEPOPULATION.
NOT EVEN ANY CRAZY NEW TECHNOLOGY IS NEEDED-JUST LINEAR PROGRESS OF WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE.
THIS IS WHERE WE ARE HEADED
At least in my opinion, maybe you have more utopian views of society where this will catapult us into some unimaginable level of human flourishing and any "black mirror" scenarios evades us, but ive drawn these conclusions directly from how things have gone so far. This is simply where human nature will take us unless something happens
