Either the state of political education is terrible or people have too much money stuffed in their ears to understand concepts that normal people need just to survive (at times). Taken for granted that AI is extremely cheap. Product and services don’t become cheaper just because they are easier to produce. One way to get rich is artificial scarcity. Now the only way I know that people in most jobs got better pay was to organize. Including striking. You can’t bully people too much if they can shut down sectors of the local community or country. Cheap AI can make things cheap. Or not. Who owns it? Some dozens of rich people? Do they have to make it cheap? Do governments have to make living on social welfare (who says there will be social welfare?[1]) “more luxurious than working full-time is now” when you look around and... there’s no one to pressure them to do that any more? [1] Some people with a lot of money stuffed in their ears think that social welfare is something that the poors/the lazy can just fall back on indefinitely. They know nothing about means testing or the fact that social welfare has been fought against by the very rich (ideologues who are savvy, they certainly didn’t stuff money in their ears) since social welfare was introduced.
