I believe, it all depends on the country in which it will be applied. Of course, chat GPT can replace many of the functional responsibilities of employees in various areas, but whether countries with weak economies will resort to such a replacement is a big question. In the case of large-scale use of chat GPT, many people can really lose their jobs. However, not all countries benefit economically from such an exchange. After all, for these lost jobs, you need to create new ones, otherwise the economic crisis will begin. How to deal with it, should we ask chat GPT? For these reasons, the replacement of a human by AI seems to me not yet a well-thought-out prospect.
If we consider the idea in which AI will work instead of a person, but at this time a person will be able to receive a certain basic income, every month, and he will be sure of that, that he will be able to live well and provide for his family with everything necessary.
It would be great, people would have time for what really makes life worth living, for a more meaningful existence, for the development of personal qualities and the study of humanitarian issues, which would lead humanity not only to technical, but also to humanitarian progress. Today, however, few countries can afford an unconditional basic income. And those, that can, do it at the expense of exhaustible natural resources, the reserves of which are becoming less and less. Therefore, it is necessary to look for other grounds for the implementation of basic income, innovative solutions are needed in this area. Otherwise, AI will lead to such a scenario, which I described above.
