It's only a problem if we live in a society where people's perceived value, and thus capability of living a healthy, full life, is tied to their productivity to produce profit for an increasingly shrinking pool of people and organizations.

Which is what we have, hence the problem.

Yes, AI has the potential to screw things up royally. But do not mistake its' exacerbation of symptoms as the true illness.

Wealth concentration and corporate consolidation.
Yeah that's the political problem. Honestly, I don't see a way out of this. One way or another, it's going to be a mess.
