What's with this zero sum mentality? "replace", "cheaper"...
We are updating our expectations very fast. We are fighting over a growing pie. Maybe the cost reduction from not having to pay human wages is much smaller than the productivity increase created by human assisted AI. Maybe it's not an issue to pay the humans. AI works better with human help for now, in fact it only works with humans, never capable of serious autonomy.
Capitalism baby! You must continually earn more to enrich the investor class regardless of the cost to society as a whole. Just because the pie grows in size doesn't mean those with the capitol have to share it with anyone else. Greed, unfortunately, is limitless.
