I'm tired of the anthropomorphization marketing behind AI driving this kind of discussion. In a few years, all this talk will sound as dumb as stating "MS Word spell checker will replace writers" or "Photoshop will replace designers".

We'll reap the productivity benefits from this new tool, create more work for ourselves, output will stabilize at a new level and salaries will stagnate again, as it always happens.

That's based on the assumption models would not soon cross that treshold of autonomy and self-reflection that suddenly makes an escalating number of jobs (with cheap humanoids, even physical) automatable for ridiculous pricing. Even if this isn't certain, likelihood could be considered quite high and thus we urgently need a public debate / design process for the peaceful, post-commercial, post-competitive, open-access post-scarcity economy some (RBE / commoning community) have been sketching for years and years. Seems this development defies most people's sense of imagination - and that's precisely why we need to raise public awareness for the freedom and fun OPEN SOURCE EVERYTHING & Universal Basic Services could bring to our tormented world. 2 billion without access to clean water? we can do much better if we break free from our collective fixation on money as the only means and way to deal with things ever.
