The British aristocracy, the traditional idea was not to have to work for a living, not to have to sell your time and attention, and you could then do whatever you want, whether it's puttering around in the garden or hunting or throwing parties or being an amateur scientist or whatever it might be.
I think it would require a significant transition.
Culturally, the education system would need to be regeared to training people to live well, to enjoy life.
rather than just to become productive workers who sit at their desk and receive assignments.
So ultimately, though, I think that the goal is full unemployment and not just with AI, but if you think all technology, really, the telos is to try to allow us to achieve more of what we want with less effort.
And taken to the limit, it would mean being able to achieve all you want with no effort.
And I think that's ultimately what the whole
technological enterprise is aiming towards and AI in particular might be the thing that actually gets us there.
