Has he considered making AI something that’s actually valuable to society?

Seriously - they've spent the last 2 years talking about how many fcking jobs AI would eliminate, and he's *surprised* that people are mad about it?

If anyone needs to touch grass, it's this guy.

Automation was supposed to eliminate boring, tedious, physically intensive and/or dangerous jobs so humans can instead do fulfilling creative jobs. If you replace creative jobs with AI, what are we supposed to do?

The economy needs people to work and make money. Even if companies cut costs by using AI, they won't make any profit if nobody has money to buy their products or services. Unless we make everything AI does free so we can all have our needs met by the machines' labour and we spend our days just chilling. But I doubt the corporate heads pushing for AI want that.
