The coffee analogy is probably not a good one. The generations that grow up with enshittified tech bullshit are complete shutins. They’ll be happy enough with a machine making their coffee. AI isn’t even necessarily involved here.
But people still have to build these machines. They have to maintain them. Someone has to grow, harvest, wash and roast the beans. Some of that can probably be done by machines, but not all of it.
The thing is, even if AI replaces everyone, there’ll be no more consumers able to buy things anymore. There literally won’t be an economy anymore. I fail to see how that helps capitalists. What is the plan here? Billionaires are a bunch of fucking weirdos, all of them.
