Humanity's Final Role in the AI Era: Becoming Better Consumers
davidpattersonx · x · 2026-07-06
@davidpattersonx proposed an optimistic narrative regarding the post-AGI economic structure: once AI and robots take over all jobs, humanity's ultimate role will be "consumers"—judging and choosing what they truly want. They believe humanity will generally become wealthy, paid content will replace ads, and AI will help people find products best suited to their personal needs, eliminating consumer distortion and surplus. This serves as a positive hypothesis about post-AGI social structures.
