It seems to me like there's a lot of talk in the vein of "AI will never be able to meaningfully replace humans at [Task X]," and not enough talk about what we should do to prepare for the possibility of AI replacing humans at those tasks.
Like, right now, AI can create shitty art and write shitty code, but are we prepared for what happens if and when it can do those things well? We've got to acknowledge that human lives have inherent value, and not just because they can do things that machines can't.
Karl Marx said if rich people own the technology that does more work, the rich people will get the profits and the workers will starve.
