It is going to get harder and harder for unskilled workers to find jobs that are not easily replaced by robots and ai. Only hope I have is for ai becoming so expensive to finance the giant investments going on right now, that workers have chance to compete.

In any sane society we would be happy to replace as many jobs as possible with automation. This is so fucked

Yes, this is fuck.
I doubt a sane society would seek to replace as many jobs as possible with automation as a goal, ie intentionally. Making this a goa’ mean trying to remove humans and unions out of the equations.
A sane society may seek to decrease workplace injuries and be more efficient, ie wasting less resources while producing stuff. That coule involved better workplace conditions, better product design, and potentially automation. Automation may incidentally replace some tasks, even though it’s not the end goal.
