Artificial Intelligence has become rampant, and human beings are out of employment.
While this has its own set of pros, such as greater accuracy, attention to detail, efficacy, efficiency and many more, it is quite morbid to imagine a world without human employment. Can you think of a world, where machines and robots did all of our work? Even something as basic and personal as cooking a meal can be accomplished by a robot. What I find myself wondering is whether human beings would even have a purpose in life. It is comforting, to think of a lot of leisure and time to oneself, while you are still able to achieve and complete your tasks with the help of artificial intelligence, but this sense of comfort is very transient, when one comes to realize that for many people, employment is not just a means to make ends meet. For many, their careers give them a sense of direction and purpose in life, their careers make them feel a sense of independence, which a lot of times, is highly underrated. I personally feel that the world would become miserable. Yes, a lot of time in your hands can give you an opportunity to catch up on hobbies, or maybe even try your hand at new hobbies. But, what we do not understand is that personal time for self-investment is so special, because we have to fight for it, we have to work for it. It feels rewarding because it is not available to us on a platter. This is exactly what would happen if human beings did not have career and monetary obligations. It would be very fascinating and novel in the beginning, but it would begin to feel excruciatingly listless after time passes.
Artificial Intelligence can be employed as an addition to human intelligence and effort. I personally do not think that Artificial Intelligence must take over human employment.
