I think that would happen only if basic income means most people stop working. Most people I've met aren't really satisfied to just live around the poverty line to the point where they work multiple full time jobs so there seems to be precedent to believe that you can give a basic income and have people still work. It's not like basic income would be making money out of thin air so it's not like it necessitates inflation
