As AI technology continues to advance and automation threatens various industries, the debate over its potential impact on employment rages on. While many foresee widespread job losses and the necessity of Universal Basic Income (UBI), one Reddit user offers a contrasting perspective. Their argument posits that inherent human ambition and the desire for more than just basic survival will prevent mass unemployment and the need for a government-provided stipend. This user believes that even in a world heavily influenced by AI, individuals will continue to seek out work to fulfill personal aspirations and pursue a higher standard of living beyond the bare minimum provided by a potential UBI.
