AI won't take jobs, they'll just go from fake to extremely fake, researcher quips
kevinnbass · x · 2026-09-30
Researcher kevinnbass offers a cynical take on AI and employment: AI won't actually take jobs — many will simply shift from fake to extremely fake, with society pretending they're real and calling it capitalism while it's really 'adult daycare', complete with more pizza parties, coloring books, and glue projects.
It's a contrarian framing of AI's labor impact: rather than eliminating roles, AI may hollow out their substance while preserving the rituals.
