So umm does that mean AI will take your coffee order and make the drink and cash you out? I didn't think so. Manual labor will still be needed 24/7, but now their bosses are AI bots that don't know human connection; oh wait my human bosses never had that ability either. Who the fuck allowed companies the privilege to post new schedules literally the week of or call you in on your days off. We need serious unions and not AI
The coffee analogy is probably not a good one. The generations that grow up with enshittified tech bullshit are complete shutins. They'll be happy enough with a machine making their coffee. AI isn't even necessarily involved here.
But people still have to build these machines. They have to maintain them. Someone has to grow, harvest, wash and roast the beans. Some of that can probably be done by machines, but not all of it.
The thing is, even if AI replaces everyone, there'll be no more consumers able to buy things anymore. There literally won't be an economy anymore. I fail to see how that helps capitalists. What is the plan here? Billionaires are a bunch of fucking weirdos, all of them.
