Humans will always find a way to be useful to others and exchange that value for money. AI wont change this and UBI is not the answer. If I can sit and do nothing and live in a pod, or improve my standard of living by being resourceful with my time to service others I will.
Why? People underestimate the underlying human nature of competition for connection, acceptance and procreation. This is what drives humans. Sex, and competition.
The raw energy behind the union of a man and a woman is the magic of our existence.
If an AI can do something I don’t have to, I’ll find something else to do and I’ll get my specialized AI robot to do something for someone else that theirs can’t do and get paid in return. And they’ll do the same for someone else. Competition never stops.
If we end up with two classes of humans; sad basement dwelling UBI consumer couples and competing productive couples, choose wisely for your short life experience on this Earth.
Adapt and compete, Anon.
