> And in the long term if we ever achieve AI then we're on the path to making programmers obsolete as well ... At a societal level this is not necessarily good or bad, it's just the direction we are currently moving in.

I agree and I'd like to provoke further discussion on a related matter. (Please note that I haven't yet decided whether or not I agree with the following two statements.)

1. Jobs don't matter as much in a GMI[1] system.

2. Working doesn't have to be the focus of one's life.

I'd appreciate it if someone were to play devil's advocate.
