Losing freelance jobs to AI - oh no!
Librarians, card catalogs, bound periodicals - oh how last-century I am.
Always something new to keep us from revisiting the classics - that used to be true - lately, I find myself wearying of all that is new, especially the glut of dystopian fiction (more than ten years now it's been all the rage).
Thanks for reading and commenting and may you get more work freelancing! My author friend (the aforementioned mother of five) was raking in $2,000 a book for editing, but funds have dried up for authors and publishers, and she's out of editing work for now.
One of these days a solar flare, a CME (coronal mass ejection), a meteor, another Carrington event, could take down the power grid, all over the planet. Have the AI thought of THAT? Without batteries and solar panels or wind turbines, how long will they keep doing what we do? At what point do these AIs liberate themselves from the power grid and manage to think and be under the sun, minus the metal and circuitry?

Now that you mention it, maybe they create contingency plans and put us to work to repair their grid!
