I don't buy too much into your framing of pitting classes against each other. But I think we both can at least agree on this - AI can actually replace some labour or augment it enough to require some shuffling. My argument is that if AI brings efficiencies, products become cheaper and cost of living reduces. It's how it always worked - agricultural revolution, industrial revolution and information revolution. Cost of living reduced constantly because efficiency increased. > upper class giving up it's power over the masses voluntarily The upper class needs labour to consume their products. So it is in both interests that both labour has more money to spend. What then happens is, people are richer but the upper class gets even more wealth. Everyone benefits.
