"Humans Need Not Apply", as CGP Grey titled one of his videos.

For the moment, it is not so; for the moment, AI needs a human around to prevent catastrophic mistakes.

When it no longer needs that help, then humans need no longer apply.

> "Artisans won’t complain about work-life balance" "Artisan’s Zoom cameras will never ‘not be working’ today." "Hire Artisans, not humans." "The era of AI employees is here." Yes, grim stuff. At first glance, you might wonder who the target audience for these billboards is. After all, the billboards will mostly be viewed by humans, and, as far as can be discerned, most humans enjoy being employed.

Do we? I rather had the impression most of us like money, and the work is just the means to get that money?
