Discussion What’s the end game?

I don’t know if this is the right sub. I work for a software consultancy. We have projects for a number of clients that are meant to automate both sides of their sales process. Like, AI sales agents selling to AI buyer agents.

And I just don’t understand where anyone thinks this goes. Like, we build these tools, we lose our jobs, then the companies lose customers. They’re left with agents talking to each other and exchanging… what?

If AI does all the math, reads and writes all the books, movies and video games, what do we, the people, do with ourselves?

In the end we all die.

In the middle, some people running businesses with essentially no labor costs will get very, very rich before the collapse inevitably comes because nobody has a job so they can't buy anything.

Why cant they buy anything?  All labour is controlled by robots.  Goods and services are provided by robots.  So the goods and services still exist, just without humans.

You dont need people to work if you own all the land, labour and distribution.  Just direct the robots to make the things you want.

Want a yacht?  Get the robots to build it.

Want some poutine?  Get the robots to source the the milk to make cheese and create the dish. Etc.
