It's not, you are imagining something that isn't there, AI simply isn't good enough to make something this realistic without there being super fuggin obvious signs
Even using Sora 2 which came out a week ago still has uncanny valley

What is the point of so much unlimited everything when we are limited ourselves? No one can “reap” all the benefits so what’s wrong with taking it easier?
We do take it easier though, unfortunately the average person is unaware of how much more difficult life was 100 years ago so we can't compare. I wouldn't want to go back to even the 90's, pre-fibre internet, slow computers, no spotify, I love listening to music so I had to wake up at 7am in the morning on Saturday to listen to the music TV show. I had to listen to the friggin radio man! It sucked!
Is more really better or just different?
We have different challenges living as kings and queens than we do before but we really are in a much better place than even 30 years ago, pre-smart phone, pre-computer, pre-wikipedia, pre-google
An example is obesity is now a bigger problem than hunger because we have access to so much cheap great tasting empty calories
But it's certainly better to be obese than starving, you can stop being obese by simply working on yourself, can't really do much about starvation if you're poor and can only afford 1 meal every 2 days.
The other issue is the rise of social media and the infected spreading doomerism (see: this thread as an example), doomerism spreads faster than positivity, in the same way people prefer to read about bad things happening than good.
good luck buddy! this is not a high quality discussion forum, it’s mainly a left wing circlejerk

OP is rather clearly expressing that people do it as a means to increase their wealth specifically
Good for them?
he didn’t use that money to live a lavish lifestyle but instead used it to fund more projects that he was interested it
Good for him?
Nobody holds a gun to your head and forces you to buy a lambo, if you want to FIRE or become a power lifter or do something else go for it
It's ultimately about effort, easiest example is people who spend 2 minutes a day on Duolingo and expect to become fluent in their chosen language and those who grind it out and spend hours a day working on it because they want it.
You may not necessarily enjoy it but you do it, it goes back to discipline etc last post here

No matter how hard you grind, minimum wage is minimum wage and inflation is inflation.
This makes no sense, if you are grinding you should be improving, I have no idea how you got the idea that grinding means working 80 hours a week in a shit job to go no where.
This is like pre-grinding: aim higher than a minimum wage shitjob? who seriously aims this low?

They are common now.
I'd like to thank people like Nikola Tesla who grinded for electricity:
Tesla's workday typically began around 9 AM and extended until 6 PM, during which he immersed himself in the realms of electricity and mechanics. Known for his relentless work ethic, he often returned to his projects late into the night, sometimes working until 3 AM. He reflected his commitment to solitary pursuits that often led to groundbreaking discoveries.
Interestingly, Tesla avoided lunch entirely, believing that excessive eating stifled creativity. He remarked, "Why overburden the bodies that serve us?" This philosophy extended to his critique of societal eating habits, as he noted in an interview, "People eat too much and exercise too little."
and all those who grind away at places like Netflix to provide incredible services 'that are common now'
Also like to thank the Shuji Nakamura who invented the Blue LED:
Nakamura continued to develop the blue LED on his own and in 1993 succeeded in making the device.[13][12]
And he worked 12 hour days 7 days a week for over a year:
Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED

Without him LCD screens wouldn't be possible (which are common now).
I am still exploited by capitalism and I feel it every day.

You’re not working for yourself and everything you strive for can get ripped from you by some unforseen shit
The grind is not the grind for your boss, it's for you, if you got hit by lifestyle inflation I can understand why you're feeling ripped off.
Also I already fell for the same trap the promise of “hard labour earns you stuff”, worked myself into two burnouts with no reward worth the consequences
If you're grinding for no reward then you should stop or move to a company that appreciates you
You also seem to have gotten half the memo, there are productivity nutters on linkedin who love working and love going all out 100% all day every day, but for the rest of us we generally have 2 goals:
- Fuck You Money
- FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early)
If you're not really interested here's a brief 1 minute video on it taken from a movie:

Why You Need F-You Money
Shortly after 9/11 my company kicked me to the curb.
Six months earlier our division president had taken me to a congratulations lunch for a record breaking year. We were explosively growing and embarrassingly profitable. Over a bottle of fine wine we discussed my very bright future.
https://jlcollinsnh.com/2011/06/06/why-you-need-f-you-money/
I have F U money, so if I lose my job unexpectedly I'll be fine for the next 2 years and because I've got so much experience and skills in my industry it won't take that long to find something else. I'm also happy because I've left 2 crappy workplaces for an amazing one with a great boss that appreciates the hard work I put in and that I'm grateful for every day
Next step after that is FIRE, this is a bit of an intro to it but there's tons of info all over the net:
https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/02/22/getting-rich-from-zero-to-hero-in-one-blog-post/
Again some people go to the extreme with this lifestyle and make their own food and live off grid but for most of us it's just a matter of spend less than you earn, save/invest the rest
and once I've got my house paid off in a few years my average expenses per month will be down to pensioner levels while I earn 10x as much, as I do like working at that point the next goal is:
Barista FIRE is where the returns from your invested assets cover most, but not all of your living expenses, and you do work that you find enjoyable to make up for the difference and fund the rest of your lifestyle.

why do you americans always go to healthcare but don’t even look at my name
So you can afford a few streaming services and have access to a supermarket?
do you need me to spell out every single major technological leap in the last 100 years for you or can type a few words in a search engine which searches all the worlds information and brings you results instantly?
edit: would also like to point how just how much tech and innovation is involved in “a few streaming services” and supermarkets
this was 30 years ago! 1989!
The overall takeaway is that much of America’s greatness lies in the ordinary. “He toured New York City, he saw the Statue of Liberty, Trump Tower — he wasn’t impressed,” Mack said. “He saw NASA. Again, no big deal. But it was a grocery store that made him realize that communism is a lie.”
supermarkets were only invented 100 years ago!
