    Robots. The solution for the disgusting jobs nobody really wants to do is to build machines to do it.

    Or, or perhaps until these jobs can be automated, or remotely performed, you incentivize people to do them by offering privileges. Perhaps luxury items, or vacations, etc. Or, perhaps you make it something everyone in the community has to take a turn doing. Like jury duty. Could still also incentivize it.

    These are necessary albeit disgusting jobs that people should be praised for doing instead of looked down on like they often are. Garbage collectors, sanitation workers, janitors and the like are some of the most important work that someone can do.

    Nursing, and Doctoring often entails just as disgusting of work as the aforementioned jobs. Some are only willing to do the work for the money. Some will always be willing to do it for the desire to help society, and the recognition they receive. As long as their fundamental needs and more are met, people will be willing to do disgusting jobs for the greater good.

        I’m an AI hater. But one of the reasons I hate it is because so many of the uses its been applied to are making art. Humans like making art. Humans don’t like cleaning shit. Make AI power robots that clean up shit and nobody would be mad at it.
