Still, there are people today who need to work at shirt factories. 10 years from now no one will be making shirts. Make up your mind. You have a response to everything and you're all over the place with them. Like Trump, there's no coherent structure, just bits and bobs bumping into each other. Similar to word salad, you do sentence salad. Have fun...

10 years from now no one will be making shirts. Everything from loading the material into the backdoor and carting it out the front will be handled by AI systems and bots. Maybe. But that would be some time in the future, As Jerry Brown said in a different context, "this is now". Not to mention, AI and robots can't do those things even in tightly controlled conditions now. In 10 years, they might, but then they'd have to be built and deployed. That alone would take more than a decade. Now maybe you have in mind the TV series "The Peripheral". You trigger a global economic collapse that trims some 90 percent of the population. When it is rebuilt, the Tek Lords. who rode it all out fine, now run the show and it is like you describe. With a predictable dark side. But, that is a TV series, based on a novel. Which I need to read, William Gibson is truly A Great Man Of History, but he is a writer. Aside from the 90 percent thing, I am not sure things would work out like he describes. And the series is set in 2100. Which is probably optimistic.
