    There will, for all of the foreseeable future, be a human element in every manufacturing or farming process.

    AI can beat replace repeatable behaviors. There will always be someone on-site to address outlier situations.

        The point is salaried workers generally would make less.

      Exactly, and it shouldn’t be hard to find someone willing to do that job for 3 days a week.

        If we invent AGI all bets are off for everything though. That’s a discovery on par with fire or the wheel.
