Once more, with feeling: automation has continued to replace jobs. That's why you aren't currently toiling in a field to eke out a meagre subsistence living. If AI starts to replace jobs (a statement made true if a single job is replaced by AI) then likely the good or service that fronts that job will become slightly cheaper, or the same.

What if AI can replace 100% of jobs that don't require manual labor?
I imagine we'll invent new jobs that we want humans to do. Why do people pay thousands for mechanical watches when quartz ones are objectively better?
