What of a world if no jobs existed, if all
we had to do was as per our heart's desire, if our bank accounts were filled
with money we require? If an AI did come in to make our lives easier, what of
the joy we get from hardwork and achievement? The entire week would be spent
like a weekend and I feel, our life will lose a sense of purpose. The world
will lose its concept of change. A world with AI would become too comfortable
and a refusal to change would set in and as quoted by Spencer Johnson in 'Who
moved my cheese?' - "if you do not change, you can become extinct!"
would become the reality. The present reality would be to create ideas but if
the major job sectors of the world is taken care by AI, then the reason to
learn subjects such as mathematics and science gets lost. This would ultimately
result in us not wanting to improve creativity in fields of research which
ultimately leaves those fields stagnant. Furthermore, a world with no jobs
would feel like a prolonged vacation which would eventually lead to boredom. In
conclusion, I would like to say that a world where the jobs are taken up AI
would leave humans in a void.
