People like the person you reply to probably also don't think "sitting on your ass making art while just existing on the subsidy" isn't "productive enough" or some shit either.

Without realizing just how much of our current working society is built on completely pointless busy work nonsense. But its in an office and done in excel so its "Work" and its "productive" because it makes some rich asshole at the top richer.

If AI is doing one positive thing, its really really showing this out for the reality it is, because AI is pretty good at turning pointless data into equally pointless reports.

And I agree with you, people WANT to do things. I think even those dude who "don't want to bathe" want to do things yoo, they just may not be "productive" things, or maybe they don't want to bathe because they see the banality of everything we do in the world so why bother.
