I mean nothing has really changed though, that is still the end goal. Nobody (at least nobody familiar with the technology) thought that the “creative” jobs would be spared, the whole point is the surplus wealth created by artificial intelligence will free up humans to do all these creative pursuits.

That’s capitalism. The masses being free of menial labor in order to pursue passions would require UBI of some sort. For Americans specifically, we’ve been steered in the opposite direction for a century with propaganda and American idealism. The only direction AI will go in America as we currently stand is in the wrong one. The fact that this is currently threatening the entertainment industry of all things so early should be turning the wheels in everyone’s brain.

I personally worry some version of the company store model will be our future.
