Please, A.I., Don't Take Our Jobs. Take Our Tasks

And I am coming to you with a proposition. We humans heard the chatter about you taking our jobs, but we need those. How else can we afford the Internet we use to communicate with you? And, to be fair, we've already let you snag a few positions in the workforce (grocery checkout, receptionist, art?). Let's compromise--instead of taking jobs, how about you take a few tasks off our plate? We'd be way more chill about the whole A.I.-development stuff if we knew that the robots had "assistant energy."
