"If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"
"while we're nowhere near a place where bots can steal your job, we're certainly at the point where your boss can be suckered into firing you and replacing you with a bot that fails at doing your job"
But that's not the point. An employer will only pay you what they think you will take, and not a penny more. If you're in a location with a lower cost of living, of course they will pay you less.
This is why organized labor is so important. No individual worker can ever hope to get a fair shake on their own.
Remember when office and storefront automation first got big? How employees who interacted with customers would fall back on "the computer did (or didn't) do something" and I have no way to help you?
Guess what the creators and owners of all this automated gear are going to say when it runs amok? I'm not so concerned about AI itself as I am about how it will let people involved with it avoid responsibility. And when it's weaponry, it becomes a license to kill.
Are you having fun yet?
