How about we get "Universal Basic Income", to respect all the unpaid work?

That'd make my choice of not using Excel (at the expense of risking not getting work) more worthwhile.

... And surviving genocide when welfare was stripped away, fraudulently re-labelling as "fit to work", killing over 130,000 disabled people in Britain from 2010 to 2019, a more worthwhile struggle too.

Otherwise, it seems even if AI does not take jobs, most work done with AI will be unpaid.
