Comment on American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90s
echodot@feddit.uk 4 days agoI really don’t know why you’re arguing about this because there have been actual experiments where people have been given UBI and pretty much everyone ends up just going and doing their own stuff. I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about being given free money.

If we did UBI today, then yeah, I see people finding roles for themselves in society that aren’t measured by dollars. I mean if we live in a world where AI has replaced not just coding jobs but has basically replaced all jobs. Cooking, cleaning, factories, farming, etc.
I dont see a point in such a world. What am I contributing? Not to my employer; what am I contributing to my family? What is my job if not to provide for my family?
