    Yeah, in all honesty, it’s not really my ideal as a quote to capture the idea. Among other things, it’s comparing what is for the quoted person, household tasks and employment, whereas I’d generally prefer employment vs employment for most of these.

    And for the quoted person, the issue is that AI is doing work that we tend to think of as potentially-desirable, rather than in the context I’m writing about, where it’s more that science fiction often portrays AI-driven sex robots that perform for humans (think Blade Runner or A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)), but doesn’t really examine humans performing for AIs.

    Still, it was the closest popular quote I could think of to address the idea that the split between AI and human roles in a world with AIs is not that which we might have anticipated.
