Most people actually want to be productive. If you’ve ever been sick and unable to do anything for a prolonged period of time, you’d know how excruciating it is. There’s a big difference between being productive and being exploited.
I know, my family has a genetic disorder and two of my three sisters can’t work and I know exactly how painful it is for them to feel useless, I have the same disorder and I’m staring down the barrel of my body and telling me I can’t work anymore and it’s terrifying. I also talk to people all the time who believe that socialism can’t work because everyone just wants to be lazy and I use the same argument that people want to be productive, they want to be useful to society. But I feel like there’s a big difference between people being able to do what they’re passionate about because it’s beneficial to society and people answering customer service questions for corporate profit. XD basically I agree with your point, I just dislike exploitation and it feels to me like using this technology to enable people to do more with bodies that couldn’t before, only to be able to re-enter this wage slavery market so they can help produce corporate profits… does not feel like the win I wish the technology was. Does that make sense? It’s early for me, I hope it makes sense.

Right, when people are forced to work that’s a problem, but people having an option to do so is a positive.
