Humanity: yes, let’s replace all of the above. 100% unemployment rate is the only way to go.

Honestly 100% unemployed becuase we have a good universal income system or something would be great. But sadly it looks like we’re in a different timeline :(

Narrator: And that, folks, is how we got the Utopia we live in, by replacing all the work with AI, and letting people enjoy their lives

Haha. No. Nothing so hopeful. The rich people will get even richer and everyone that used to be working class and middle class die a slow death.

Now I wander what would happen if only rich people would survive and I’m sure somebody has already written an sf book about that

Yeah. That’s (arguably) the background scenario to Asimov’s book “The Naked Sun” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Sun

Edit: Ooh, Django already gave a cooler link to the same: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/10729278

Took me a while to track it down, but I think this is the book to which you were referring.
