Yeah I just don't agree. In the case of art, if any one can create it with zero skill it has no value on top of it being mostly stolen from talented artists. As far as other industries, displacing people doesn't bring any good into the world. They move to industries less affected by AI and drive the value down there. I see a lot of AI as a tool to devalue skills and make money for those at the top.
All the dump trick drivers at Suncor that were automated out of jobs were transferred, but it also eliminated 500 high paying jobs with a low barrier to entry for the next generation and the only benificary is Suncor.
Obviously there are some great things that will come from AI but I see far more bad.

The bolded is a distribution of wealth problem not an automation problem. In general there is a certain amount of human labour required to run society. Reducing that amount allows more leisure. How that leisure is distributed is the role of government. Also in Canada the public pension plans own large swaths of these companies so benefiting Suncor is benefiting people.
Not to mention this should reduce fatalities at Suncor.
The path forward needs to be UBIs slowly increased and taxation of the profits of automation rather than just giving it to the producer and consumer.
