Of course we heard this 30 years years ago or more. I was supposed to work less and have more. Interesting, I work 60 hours per week... yea, I make more than 3 times what I did 40 years ago, yet somehow, everything costs over 4 times as much.

My first house cost under $50K. That very same house now costs six times as much.

Most of you here already know the punch line: inflation will sky rocket and that $200K will be barely enough to feed you the very next year.

Great plan.

My guess is that AI and robots will outright replace most jobs in the next couple of decades, and rapidly accelerate reseach and development fields. Maybe there will still be work needed by human beings to do repairs on damaged/malfunctioning robots/systems (very much like the auto repair and maintenance industry). Maybe trade skills will still be done by men for the foreseeable future.

I believe it will play out like this: AI is only a statistical model, it can not create. Creators will stop publishing on the internet because AI prevents monetization. The models will stop evolving and in fact will be poisoned by people who don't want their intellectual property stolen. There will be a dead lock as models no longer evolve. The panacea of AI will not come to fruition.
