Sure, ChatGPT sucks at writing jokes, but I've tried secret AI programs and they're no joke for writers like me.

I suppose if AI writes better jokes, it should write the jokes. But, tax those who financially gain from it to fund Universal Basic Income.

We are in course to serious societal conflict.

AI will continue to improve. It may be seriously flawed now, it could never reach personhood level, but it will still be enough to replace a lot of jobs in all sorts of service and intellectual fields.

The executives will continue to push for its use, because it's cheap and effective. Company owners and investors won't accept being denied use of it, or that their profits are touched.

Lets not fool ourselves into thinking magic new jobs will replace those, we are already set to lose technological jobs that previous advancements had allowed us to move to, and anything more is going to take only a tiny fraction of people. If we can't even count on social and intellectual work, the best that will be left to people is to undercut machinery by taking on sweatshop jobs for cheaper than it would take to automate, and even that is not limitless. But people will not just sit on the sidewalk and die either.

Either our whole political systems and economy will change or future will be a horrible form of techno neo feudalism, where class inequality is unsurpassable. But it won't change without a fight, the people who are powerful today won't just let it happen.

The sensible way to go would be to just implement UBI, but that would take some sense and empathy that is just completely lacking in most people who could make it happen.
