Interesting thanks!
Where did I say otherwise?
You may not need external pressure for some things but you still need motivation. And I think motivation would be very rare in a society where everything can be done by robots with a simple request.
I think it's quite obvious that for someone to do something that they know will take a lot of effort they will need some motivation to do it. Anybody who did anything did it out of necessity, some perceived benefit to someone or some personal interest in doing it. Nobody ever dug a hole for no reason unless they were extremely bored and had nothing else to keep them occupied but a shovel and some dirt.

Only necessary for filtering used oil, however
He is unironically more enlightened though
This is incredibly cringe-inducing. Violence is the answer? Growing food is bad? AI is evil but not because it uses water.
Right. The propaganda against growing food (you know, like happens all by itself in nature and is necessary for human survival) is so dumb. If you have a problem with certain agricultural practices then name them, don't just blame "agriculture" as a whole. That's like blaming humans as a whole for what corporations do. Oh wait, that's what the same propaganda also does!
It's not going to stay this way for much longer. Technology progresses exponentially and in a decade or two at most AI will be able to outperform all humans in everything. The future is dark unless it's all unplugged.
It's the other way around. Right wing media got popular because people reacted against the rapid devolution of mainstream and left wing political discourse and sought other media. But I've accepted that people like this will live and die without ever understanding this.
I'm not saying everyone will be unproductive unless there is a necessity to be productive, although from experience it appears that most people will. But even if everyone will be productive without necessity, surely people still need motivation to be productive right? And how can there be motivation in a world where machines do everything faster and better than us and we could just get them to do all our projects? Even the self-improvement projects like losing weight or learning things are hard to motivate when you can just take a drug to lose weight and instantly look things up or rely on an AI brain chip instead of learning things.
Regarding my first paragraph not being what you said then you'll need to clarify in order for me to understand what you meant, but I appreciate you don't want to continue this discussion.
I never heard that in movies actually. And we know there are limits according to laws of nature but that's beside the point. Here's a good explanation of how technological progress has been accelerating.
The key word there is "current"
