I I’m just saying it’s not practical for everyone to be replaced because it will crush the economy.

Your health depends on you having money to buy food.

I agree we shouldn't use this thing for cultural expression like art and writing, but if all your job entails is interpreting radiological images, and a computer can do it faster, better, and cheaper, you should probably learn some new skills.

We're not talking about the wider economy here, we're talking about radiology in particular.

I don't think the plan is to stop at radiology.

The purpose of the economy is to fairly allocate resources to people. Labor is a resource. If we suddenly have no scarcity of labor, that should mean everyone is wealthier than before. If the economy is crushed by suddenly having a limitless supply of a resource, it means the economy isn't able to allocate resources fairly, which is a problem with the economy, not the resource.

I'm an optimist and I think people can make the economy adapt to the problem of suddenly being richer than it was previously.

The problem as ever is equity.
