The fundamental problem that underlies virtually all labor and economic debate is that there isn't just one "superior" that works out best for absolutely everybody. AI isn't magically going to fix that, especially since the AI will be programmed and purchased by humans who will explicitly embed their own preferred perspectives and data into it and who will direct it to find the solution that works out best for the owner's personal profits. Which, spoiler, won't be socialism!

The fact that we designed and built literally every I/O method it has? That sci-fi tale you talk about sounds like it was inspired by the days of early computing, when the work was largely done by specialized computer operators trained in the arcane I/O methods used decades ago, and misinterpreting the output of a computer isn't exactly uncommon even today. But no matter how arcane the I/O method got, it was always designed and built by a human who intended for it to be comprehensible somehow to other humans. If a computer decides on its own to stop producing coherent output in a format that can be understood by humans, it has entered a state popularly known as "broken", and will likely be taken offline for repair.

Pew's been on the ball lately with topical research surveys. A new just-released survey indicates that 65% of American workers expect that within 50 years, "much" of the work done by humans will instead be done by robots or computers. However, 80% of American workers believe that their own jobs will be around basically unchanged fifty years from now, and only 11% are concerned about losing their current job due to being replaced by computers/robots.
