>If everybody simply consumes it but doesn’t contribute to helping to pay for it the entire system will fail anyway. In a world where AI takes jobs, couldn't they also take on the responsibility of taxes? All the top dogs from OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, etc. keep talking about the ridiculous value that AI could provide. Trillions of dollars. I'm no economist, but here's a naive suggestion: make the robots pay taxes. If AI turns out to be as incredible as they're hyping it up to be, then every company on earth will be paying some big AI company for its services. Instead of letting OpenAI and others hoard all this money, take a cut of their insanely high revenue to pay for UBI. ... As I said, I'm not an economist - I suspect there's a serious flaw in my suggestion but I don't know what I don't know. I'd appreciate any rebuttals.
