It's not possible. It's in the human DNA. That's why humans have survived (and other animals). We innovate, become more efficient, we progress. That's part of being human.
I think the AI will open a world of new jobs. I'm old enough to have seen progress in action, and I've seen enough documentaries & movies to have seen prior progressions. Whenever it comes around, it seems like the world is ending. The world does not end.
Think about the advent of the automobile. It put all the buggy makers and whip makers out of business. Do you think we should still be getting around like the Amish? Can you imagine how different the country would be w/o vehicles, or airplanes?
The industrial revolution made making motors for vehicles, airplanes, and a lot of other things for mass use possible. The industrial revolution put a lot of people out of work. People who had hand crafted things at a much slower pace, and for far fewer people at greater cost.
I witnessed the computer revolution. I saw one of the first computers used by a business in my home town. It was a huge computer that was the size of half of a semi-large room. You fed punched cards into it. I then witnessed personal computers come into being.
Computers put a lot of office workers of different types out of work. There used to be large rooms filled with accounting clerks and typists, each of them doing work on typewriters with carbon paper for multiple copies. They were replaced with a couple of gals with computers, and some punchcard sorters in the back.
AI is coming and can't be stopped. The types of jobs will change. AI will open up new kinds of jobs.
Part of the problem, really, is that we have too many people. That's the way I see it. The world is filling up with people. We're killing off the animals and having trouble finding work and food for everyone.
