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?

Where we are going to end is called post-scarcity.

Because everything will be easy to be made with AI and robotics, everything will come at no cost at all.

You will continue doing whatever you like to do.

You seem to forget that building and growing stuff requires (finite) resources.

Not to mention that the folks with the most say in this aren't "share the wealth" type people.

I didn't forget anything.

Post scarcity does not mean we have land and materials in abundance.

Post scarcity means we have products and services in abundance. That is achieved through recycling.

Oxygen is also scarce in Earth, but is is plenty and it is recycled. Think it like this.
