Yes this is what people constantly get wrong about AI. When AI starts to replace certain tasks, we will then create newer, larger tasks that will keep us busy, even when using AI to its full advantage.


Do you expect AI to stop becoming more capable before it can do every economically useful task better than any human?


No, I expect the economy to continually expand.


If so, then there will be no place for humans in that economy - except for recreational purposes - regardless if its expansion.
