When the first machine was invented, people thought workers could take it easy. But what happened? More factories appeared, the workload increased, and capitalists were all smiles, while workers still had to toil away. When computers first came out, we thought we could say goodbye to pen and paper. But what happened? Now, we can't even go to the bathroom without taking our laptops, afraid of missing an email. And don't even get me started on phones—we thought they would broaden our horizons, but our view has shrunk to the size of a screen. Many jobs are now completed with AI assistance, and tasks that used to take three days now have to be done in one. Keynes once said that by the end of the 20th century, technological advancement would reduce the average workweek to 15 hours, but maybe only the Nordic countries have achieved that.

At first when AI began to trend, I thought the idea behind this AI were limited to online AI were you can chat with a programmed and get your responses base on improvement but after seeing Elon Musk Optimus and the Robots car, I was shocked, surprised and have changed my ignorance of this AI. There was one robot serving drinks in the opening and I have to agree with you that if this things get improved, humans wouldn't get a job again.

The price of those Optimus was price to range from $20 to $30k, now imagine if you buy 5 of that and use them in your restaurant, you are done for life paying wages to your workers and they don't need to be tipping them like many workers do in their job. Just charge them and instruct them to work as you want and you are good to go. People will even be fascinated to come to eat in the place where this AI robots works than see human interfere in their things. The world is rapidly changing my friend.
