Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says

This is exactly the result. No matter how advanced AI gets, unless the singularity is realized, we will be no closer to some kind of 8-hour workweek utopia. These AI Silicon Valley fanatics are the same ones saying that basic social welfare programs are naive and un-implementable - so why would they suddenly change their entire perspective on life?

This vision of the AI making everything easier always leaves out the part where nobody has a job as a result.

Sure you can relax on a beach, you have all the time in the world now that you are unemployed. The disconnect is mind boggling.
