The idea behind advancing technology is that yes, it would take jobs, but we’d all work less in our lives and enjoy them more. Instead, all the wealth from the added productivity goes to the owner class because we have an unfair tax system. You keep working like a slave hoping you won’t be the next one dismissed, while the owner class continues to amass a greater proportion of society’s wealth. The rich, indeed, get richer. We’re witnessing the destruction of the middle class and a return to the Gilded Age.
What we know as “artificial intelligence” will never gain sentience, by any definition of the word sentience. They are the ultimate example of the old computer maxim “garbage in, garbage out”
