It will come - simply b/c a majority will depend on it and politicians depend on majorities.
But it will also be so low that people will merely be able to afford a reasonable modern living standard.
At the same time there will be incentives to take new kind of jobs to pad the basic income.
Those jobs will be servant jobs - bringing people food, driving them around ... serving them ... b/c no robot can give you the feeling of being in a position of power.
So the fate for the uneducated or people educated but in economically irrelevant areas will be basic income plus being a servant.
