the parent poster is trying to say "well where's your evidence that a society not based around human labor is possible?" which is sort of a silly question

you can't claim an invention is invalid because there are no "studies" that show such an invention has already existed and succeeded, you'd by definition never invent anything!

No, your quote is a much too strong version of what anyone in this subthread is trying to say.

The issue isn't that there isn't any evidence that a society based around human labor is possible. I expect it is!

The issue is that our current society is based around human labor, and that there is plenty of evidence that changing that even over the time period of a lifetime or two would cause huge societal upheaval (likely including war, possibly of the civil variety) and massive existential problems for lots of people.

And here we're talking about a massively disruptive technology that could change all this in the span of a decade or two? We're screwed, if AI actually bears fruit.
