    Why do we need any job? Check "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber. Not saying being a mathematician is a bullshit-kinda job, but there have been so many made up positions way before this AI-era. In that sense AI isn't changing much.

      If not for nothing else but to form a basis for how to distribute/share/hoard the wealth created by a society. The eternal question - who gets what.
