Efficiency and productivity aren't bad things. Nobody likes doing bullshit work.

Unemployment may become a huge issue, but IMO the solution isn't busy work. Or at least come up with more useful government jobs programs.

Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with using AI to get rid of bullshit work. The issue is who will benefit from using AI and it's unlikely to be the people who currently do the bullshit work.
