What good is intelligence if there is nobody with the money to pay for it? We run our brains on a few thousand calories a day. Who is going to pay to provide the billions of calories it takes to run/cool GPUs all day long if there are no humans with marketable skills?
“No marketable skills” seems pretty unlikely if you look beyond office work.
Genuine question--I've seen this thrown around a lot. Do you count yourself in this hypothetical situation where society returns to physical labor, or do you think you're immune from being automated?
AIs will pay other AIs through various means of exchange
Assuming AI need humans in that way is like being a tribe of monkeys and saying
“What good is being human if they don’t have bananas to pay? Monkey only need banana, humans need clothes, houses, cars, gas, who is going to pay the humans bananas if monkeys have all the banana?”
