Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?

Should companies using computers in general pay a tax, a computer used to mean a human that calculated - computed - things by hand, after all.
But alarm clocks replaced knockeruppers, light bulbs replaced lamplighters, cars replaced coachmen, industrial robots replaced blacksmiths - the list of jobs made obsolete by technology during human history is massive.
Generative AI, while widespread and disruptive, is just one more to the long list.
