More likely businesses than robots, but robots will consume on behalf of the business that owns them, same as currently happens with procurement. If people don't have the money to pay for shavers, shavers either won't be made, or they'll be purchased and owned by businesses, and leased for some kind of servitude. I'm not sure what kind of repayment would work if AI and machines can replace humans for most labor. Maybe we're still in the equation, just heavily devalued because AI is faster and produces higher quality output. Alternatively, government might have to provide those things, funded by taxes from businesses that own machines. I think, realistically, this is just a return to slavery by another name; it's illegal to own people as part of the means of production, but if you have a person analog that is just as good, the point becomes moot. I think it gets scary if the government decides it no longer has a mandate to look after citizens. If we don't pay taxes, do we get representation?
