AI does a lot of things but it still cannot create new things. It can teach but only from materials already known. It can make but only programmed things.
Someone will have to be innovators or we will live in a static world. A large part of inventing is done by observing necessities. If no one is actually doing, there’s not much room for invention.
The static, uninspired, unoriginal, and soulless world of, say, pop music, is proof that people will simply be conquered by mediocrity and hand over their money for the privilege. We’re raising generations of children who can’t read or write or tap into any creativity, so I would expect AI “artistry” to take over without much of a fight.
“Someone will have to be innovators”
True innovators are always a very small part of the population—maybe one percent or so.
There can be a lot of unemployment without touching any innovators.
