Lets game this out.

Bob and Alice, and everyone else on earth, download a local AI harness, that gets smarter over time, at whatever they ask it about.

Bob and Alice stay home, drill their own well, grow their own food, sew their own clothes, repair their own vehicles, etc etc etc.

Bob loses his job as an automotive mechanic, and Alice loses her job at the retail clothing outlet, because everyone is ordering parts and clothes/sewing supplies off Amazon.

================================

It's looking like AI is setting us all free, and if we decide to use our spare time to kill each other or help each other is what this boils down to.
