This article analyzes the social transformations resulting from the technological revolution and artificial intelligence (AI). Argues that AI, with its superior memory and processing capabilities, is supplanting human intelligence in labor tasks, especially intellectual ones. The central thesis is that this scenario points towards a post-work society, where the economic utility of the "homo faber" vanishes. Instead of lamenting this, the text proposes that the end of work represents an opportunity for humanity to free itself from productive impositions and turn towards subjective and non-utilitarian dimensions of life, such as art and poetry. It is concluded that the challenge lies in how society will adapt to this radical freedom, given the possibility of voluntary servitude to technology and the lack of control over its advancement.
