We already have guaranteed minimum income. Look at the people employed by the state. Doing mundane tasks, day by day, that could be automated cheaply and effortlessly. Literally sorting and storing documents, something the computer is proficient at. It is invented and completely senseless and stupid work. Depending on the country, we are talking about 20-50% of the population being state employees right now, in the first world. And the trend is that it's increasing, fast. There's your UBI, and as a bonus point, it keeps people off the streets and they think they are doing something.
