Perhaps Better call Saul isn't that unrealistic after all :) I guess they'll have double bad luck once self driving cars take over. Johny cab incoming!

Society will have to change completely with the rise of AI, it will soon affect all of us, the young more so

Society is changing all the time. We do all our payments and other things online now, go to the store, check the computer which aisle to find the item, go through the self checkout, zero human interaction. Menial tasks get automated all the time, I guess research is next with AI.
Meanwhile instead of simply showing up at the airport with your passport, nowadays you start by checking in online, printing your own boarding pass, check in at a machine at the airport, put the labels on your bags yourself, drop them off at a bagage belt, then scan your own passport, take your picture at a machine and fill out a questionaire when coming back and drop off the printout at a customs officer. It's funny how customers put up with 'automation' which in the end just transfers all the work to them. Automation my ass.
Anyway, who is going to check the results from the AI research, and who is going to make all the relevant info accesible for AI. Different work. Sometimes I wonder if we're not creating more work when I'm on the phone with tech support and they can't figure out how to fix simple things in their automated systems.
