Those people don’t stop existing because AI exists. AI is shocking energy consumption on top of the existing people.

Well, the first thing they said was that it at least removed the need for their commute, which might be something. In general, it does take resources to create the conditions for people to work. Maybe there will be room for new value for the existing people as a result.

Simply working from home removes the need for their commute. And we all know how most of the executive and management class feels about working from home.

They will stop, or at least their consumption/lifestyle will stop.
