actually conflict. Your job comes from comparative advantage, meaning that being more different from other people actually is more important than how good you are at it (absolute advantage).

If the AGI could do your job better than you, it doesn't matter, because it has something better to do than that. And just like humans have to be paid so they can afford food and shelter, AGIs have to be paid so they can afford electricity and GPUs to run on.

(Besides, if the AGI really is a replacement for a human, it probably has consumerist desires and wants to be paid the median wage too.)



Dogs still have jobs in our modern society also, but that isn't exactly the situation I am hoping for with the future of AI.
