What will happen if AI tech is mature and people have little work to do?

Depending on how mature AI will be, people's work will involve telling AIs what they want it to do, rather than doing the work themselves. I wrote about this here [0] because it seems like a logical step after technology improves any level of work.

What I believe this will mean is that there will be a glut of creations, because many more people will be able to build and create stuff by telling AIs what they want.

I'm not sure how this affects the economics of it all.

I expect there is going to be a crisis of finding meaning. As much as we like to rid ourselves of "work", struggle is also a part of human experience in which we find value. Furthermore, AI will not contain itself to only jobs. Its impacts will be broad into society itself and what we do recreationally.

For something that explores these concepts and possibilities much deeper, I've written extensively on this subject at the following - https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-end-to-all-things

Well... People will say that jobs involving physical skills remain but there is a lot of progress in robotics although I quit posting articles about that to HN because they never get a second vote.

If by AI you mean the current LLM's using BigData like OpenAI then I doubt this will happen. All iterations of that confidently spew lies, half-truths and highly biased output. Should someone hire that thing to write software or control anything important then I would expect anything it works on to go horribly sideways, especially if the assigned project is complex.

But I could be wrong. If I am wrong then my hope is everyone has enough free time to to watch all the episodes of M.A.S.H. while simultaneously retraining in something else, whatever the next something else may be.

Read this and then realize how much work there is yet to do:

People could imagine a better world in the future like Arthur C. Clarke if flights in their imagination is their thing to do. There have always been servants and the people they serve. They did their thing. There was a time when a room had six servants, the team leader pointing and the team doing their thing.

The city idea could disappear and everybody gets to live the best version of possible life the technology affords, the inhibitor seems to be old heads in the machinery. We should be so far ahead to where things are because billionaires like Bill G and company don't get it.
