> Effort is what is being replaced here

Not really. The effort required to produce the same result has declined, but it has been on the decline for many decades already. That is nothing new. Of course, in the real world, nobody wants the same result over and over, so expectations will always expand to consume all of your available effort.

If there is some future where your effort has been replaced, it won't be AI that we're talking about.
