I don't think it will result in a society of abundance, rather a lot of power concentrated in the hands of a few people while the rest beg for scraps (much more so than currently).
Yeah, that's more my worry than "x-risk" stuff. Technology has no doubt made the world a better place in many ways, but lately it seems to be more and more of a trend that technology tends to foster consolidation of power. That worries me more than "evil AI" or "paperclip maximizer" scenarios. But I don't consider it a given that AGI must yield such an outcome. It's something I spend a modest amount of time thinking about though.
