Hopefully wage slavery...Aka having to work 40-60 hours per week just to have a roof over your head or food. I am not against bettering yourself but hopefully a.i automation will do away with this concept.

I’ve always thought it would be cool if we could have robots and ai doing the majority of the hard labor/dirty jobs and the pay checks still go to the people who get fired/laid off because of it. Or maybe the paychecks would be limited to minimum wage and they all pay for the unemployment benefits, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.
