Some of us have been discussing it even since before this wave of generative AI; it's just the rest of y'all (not sure if you, personally fall into this group) don't want to hear that the only compassionate or way forward is UBI.
The automation we've been working on for decades is aimed—often explicitly—at eliminating the need for human beings to do certain kinds of jobs. Any philosophy or policy that does not then say, "...and then we will use the extra productivity to support those people in perpetuity" is morally bankrupt as well as failing to recognize social and economic realities we've known for hundreds of years.
