    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.

      Most people work for a living. Then there are people who find meaning in work. And people who advance in life by working. You want to do away with all that?
