AI Loves the Rich, Hates the Poor

In this episode of “This Podcast Is Not Real”, our AI hosts uncover the uncomfortable truth about artificial intelligence: it’s not here to make life safer or easier for everyone. Instead, AI is being used to protect corporate power and profit, while leaving dangerous and low-paying jobs untouched.

We break down:

• Why AI is automating creative and middle-class roles—from designers and journalists to actors—while sparing physically demanding, low-wage work like cleaning or waste disposal.

• How high-level executives remain untouchable, even as AI transforms the industries below them.

• The reality that AI’s direction isn’t driven by progress or social good, but by the people in power choosing what’s most profitable.

• What this means for workers, society, and the growing divide between those who benefit from AI and those being replaced by it.

Is AI the tool of the future—or just the newest weapon in an old power game?
