The whole premise is strange, too. AI does not ‘take’ jobs. It frees up people from menial tasks, giving them time to spend their time differently. Perhaps a good time to change the capitalist status quo? ;)
I took it you meant “does technology freeing us from menial task even happened”. In that case, I’m answering that yes it did happen, since technology freed us from menial tasks like farming so more of us could study engineering and medicine for example.
If you are asking if the current set of AI tools has freed us from menial tasks in the past. Well then no, because they are new and didn’t exist.
Yes, well menial labor didn’t stop existing. The ratio just changed by a lot. I also figure most on Lemmy aren’t working in sweat shops lol, I definitely don’t mean Africans working in a pit when I say ‘Us’.
In any case, it’s far from peak delusion, it’s literally history. Right before WW1, 30% of Americans were full time farmers. Now that number sits at 1.3%.

Companies are already (questionably) using AI as an excuse for layoffs, and it’ll certainly lead to less new hires.
Does that even happened?
If it didn’t, most of us would be working a field for a living.
So you’re claiming AI help drive long haul truck back in the 1980s? Or are we not talking about the same thing here?

Who is “us”? Peak delusional privilege.

Check out.
Well ya, I have better stuff to do with my life then working a field. That’s my point. I’m happy technology “stole” those jobs, it’s not a bad thing.
Is this your first time learning about capitalism?
There is no such thing as learning a concept more than once. There is learning it, then remembering if you forgot.
Try and look ahead. Do not get stuck on the negative, envision a positive outcome and find the path.
