Also it's hilarious to me why we have any reason to be scared of AI. If the workforce is being replaced by better cheaper labor, then we should have more money to actively take care of people.

Define taking care of people.

It will always blow my mind that people are OK with our tech overlords having enough money to where they can build rockets for recreational space travel, but wring their hands over the idea of a poor person getting basic necessities because they might be cheating the system a teeny tiny bit.

This gets into the debate of plural vs singular nouns that represent groups. Is it "the Utah Jazz are going to suck this year" or "the Utah Jazz is going to suck this year"?
