### AI overview

The essay argues that AI systems are becoming capable of producing software faster and more cheaply than human programmers, raising concerns that knowledge workers may lose both their jobs and their sense of purpose. It connects this shift to the human need to contribute and be useful, while acknowledging that it has no answer to what people will be for if machines take over much of their work.

### Source excerpt

We exist to be needed, we were needed for thinking, machines now think better and cheaper than we do, and nobody knows what a man is for after that.
