The only way there will be no jobs is if every conceivable human need is met by robots. In which case there will also be no need to work.

I understand that. The fear I'm describing isn't no jobs, but less jobs than there are people.
There's multiple ways to address this, but it's difficult for me to imagine a future with our current economic system (in the US) that allows that to happen (like UBI).
My biggest fear is just a lack of jobs.
When people need experience to work, and the work you give to people to give them experience is replaced by ChatGPT - then what do we do?
Of course there will still be companies hiring people, but when leadership is telling people to save money - it seems much cheaper to use ChatGPT that it is to train someone.
Why hire a kid that has been using AI, when the AI can just do the work? Or if a kid that has been using AI can do the work of 20 people, what happens to the 19 people that can't find work? Will we be in a place where we need 20 people doing the work of 20 people each? Is that need actually there?
I do very much appreciate your view. I feel like I waffle back and forth between what I'm saying here and your comment.
I apologize for coming across doomer-ish. It is sometimes hard for me to imagine a future for kids growing up with ChatGPT.
