When AI becomes the primary engine of economic production, wage compression for human workers could occur across multiple scenarios: full automation of routine cognitive and manual tasks, replacement of knowledge workers by advanced language models, concentration of capital ownership in AI infrastructure without broad wealth distribution mechanisms, and reduced bargaining power of labor in negotiation with capital. The critical question isn't whether wages decline, but how economies redistribute value when machine productivity exceeds human labor contribution. For crypto communities exploring economic tokenomics and DAO structures, this scenario underscores why programmable incentive mechanisms and decentralized wealth distribution models may become essential frameworks for future economies.

Not bad, but I've heard this theory too many times. Historical experience tells me that every technological revolution is met with predictions of human labor being doomed. And what happens? New job opportunities emerge, it just takes time. The real problem is that the transition period will be tough, and workers will be forced to relearn new skills. The DAO distribution mechanism sounds great in theory, but in practice, I bet it won't get out of the experimental stage. Let's wait until the collapse really happens before discussing how to rescue the market.

Ha, to put it simply, it's just about grabbing money. With AI coming, human workers will have to lay off, and I saw through this back in 2017.

Will AI really take away jobs? How will people make a living then?

The AI revolution is here, everyone. Human jobs are about to be phased out... But on the other hand, maybe this Web3 tokenomics approach can really save us?
