Like they will magically create metal and food from nothing? Of course not, you will need to barter for those if there are no money. Will they create also water that will be getting more expensive due data center consumption? This is absurd

If people dont buy, company does not have money nor income. Simple as that. There will be no need to use those machines, because you cant sell the output of those machines. So, you have starwing hopeless population not buying your products.
