I too would like to know.

I don't see how the companies trying to save money by replacing workers with AI expect to still have someone to sell their goods and services to when no one has any money because all the jobs have been replaced by AI.

Jobs and money are not natural laws; we could change our entire socioeconomic system to account for a new reality. But I just don't see that happening...

    I wonder what about a system where work is cycled between people. So instead of one person working 5 days a week, we have two people working 3 days a week?

    That's a stocker at Kroger. It’s a fry cook at McDonald's. You have to have work where the individual doing it is entirely irrelevant. And society has a lot of jobs like that. But most jobs require a degree of expertise that comes from education or experience or raw natural talent. These are the qualities that make an individual uniquely valuable to a business and their time is in demand for more than 24 hours a week, and they are better compensated in return.
