Most people don't enjoy the work they do.

As long as the bills are paid then most people will be happy to not go to traditional work, but instead do more interesting/ of value to the community work.

who is paying?

Money is a made up system that the people have decided best meets their needs at this time.

If AI completely changed the system, then the present method of exchanging labour for money would also need to be replaced or tweaked.

Oh please, the billionaires who control these things aren't going to share the wealth with the people they put out of work. They're going to suck as many of us dry as they possibly can

"As long as the bills are paid" is the key point. They won't be because people will be out of a job with no safety net

I pray LLM's put programmers out of work. You don't enjoy it anyway, just bills etc. Learn to enjoy gardening or something.

What would a programmer rather work on. Some boring app for someone else, or an app to solve a problem he has of his own.

What is more enjoyable, working on the language and database dictated by work, or whatever tech he wants to use.

As long as a person gets out of bed and does a days work doing something productive in some way, it doesn't matter that it's not traditional work.

I feel like most people who got into programming because they liked it (rather than for money) feel this way. I certainly don’t wanna be solving the same problems over and over again.
