I think the impact of AI will be too pervasive and complex to be understood in terms of a simple winners/losers dichotomy. My prediction is this: Software developers and lawyers will probably have significantly lower incomes, and so to some extent, we'll lose status relative to everyone else. But software and legal work will become cheap as hell. This ought to reduce prices generally on just about everything. Even housing prices should go down, as the median worker will be making less money. Governments will probably try to counteract the ensuing deflation with massive stimulus programs. Optimistically, this could culminate in new UBI programs. A happy outcome is not by any means guaranteed, but seems likely in the long term.
