Thankfully, people are paid by the value they provide and not by the enjoyment they get out of their work.

AI will make things cheaper and more abundant - at the cost of a few people not enjoying their jobs. So what.

You people don't care about human mastery or excellence at all. So what if we produce more stuff cheaper and faster? That wasn't the problem. We're making it harder for people to get rewarded for genuine effort and dedication and in exchange for alienating us from our work we get a lot of lower quality crap. It sucks!

What's the point, if all that "abundance" does is make our lives worse?
