Honestly 100% unemployed becuase we have a good universal income system or something would be great. But sadly it looks like we’re in a different timeline :(
Considering that C-suite executives are usually fantastically expensive, they’d be a logical position to automate (assuming AI worked like suits think it does). For some veeeery strange reason no board of directors has suggested replacing themselves with AIs

Narrator: And that, folks, is how we got the Utopia we live in, by replacing all the work with AI, and letting people enjoy their lives
Haha. No. Nothing so hopeful. The rich people will get even richer and everyone that used to be working class and middle class die a slow death.

It’d be super easy to replace Sam Altman with a bot that spits out keywords known to increase OpenAI shares.
Waitaminute… Sam alt-man?
I know, right? It’s like he’s an incredibly shitty sci-fi villain.
Sounds like they’re not prioritizing the shareholders interests! Last I heard, that’s a fireable offense!
It’s almost like the rules don’t apply to the moneyed class
