Ok so AI is now doing all the jobs. Even the manual ones. And you, and everyone else, are getting a universal basic income that's equivalent to a director level job salary in your location. You don't have to "work" to earn a living.

So what do you do now?

1. Go to the gym daily (which I already do).

2. Watch interesting movies and TV shows (which I already do).

3. Read books (Which I already do).

4. Write code and try to build things to make more money (I already do the writing code part, but I make no money)

Edit: You should preface your submission with an Ask HN:

Go work for the people who pay to have a job done right first time around. :)

But nobody's hiring. All AI :)

If anything else, there will always be folks that just don't want the intrusion of having to put up with AI handing their work for privacy reasons.

However, assuming AI had improved to a point where human jobs were rare - for periods I didn't work - I would have less medical issues since AI could do in a day what 2 or more years of tomfoolery could not, and have the time to spend those days hiking though preferably near pristine nature, ... or what was left of it.
