The problem with the idea of cyberpunk is that it pretends that capitalism can keep on going at all, when AI is going to replace ALL work within the next decade or two. How can we have cyberpunk if there's literally no work left? On the one hand, that makes Cyberpunk overly cynical, as capitalism might end due to our inability to work. On the other hand, it might not be cynical enough, as those in control of the AI work to hoard all the production of the world, and let everyone else starve to death from the inability to produce under this new system.

I am worried too, but treating art as if it's the only thing that's going to be replaced is not correct.
