When these CEOs make this claim, they are envisioning the white-collar tech and finance class from which they spawned to be receiving this benefit, and not the working class that is actually essential to a functioning society.

    Yup that's the rub. AI is really good at doing white collar office work, so I'm picturing it in their minds those jobs being outsourced to grok and themselves paid to sit at home. MEANWHILE the actual backbreaking work that keep society functioning, like say garbage removal, will remain in place and probably the workers will just be enslaved with bomb collars.
