I'm not entirely sure about the reporters. People like to read articles about things, articles with a personalized twist in the writing. That is something no robot can do

Theoretically, if you gave a learning robot enough articles like that, and then made the robot write about a general topic, the robot could probably write a pretty decent article. There Isn’t really any job that can’t get stolen by ai

It would be possible for an ai, but you’re right, people would prefer to see real people doing that.

X Games sports. That's much too dangerous for ai to do it

The idea is good, in that the economy should work for people, and not vice versa.

Basic income? Will that make inflation worse?
4 ups, 2y
Nope. demand destruction like in the oil business, prices can only go so high before people cant afford it and stop using it. Basic means just that, folks dont need to sleep in a tent, or wait for the soup kitchen to open in order to eat, but if one wants a car they are on their own. Keep your eyes on England, they have a few pilot programs going, 4 day work weeks too.

how is a minimum income going to save people's jobs from AI?

I mean, possibly wouldn't be a terrible idea. AI taking most jobs is in a word, unprecedented, so I suppose some experimentation might be necessary. I'd be interested to see if demand would shift more to luxury items that might market themselves as "hand made" or "authentic" and jobs could be created there.
