IMHO there is a lot of unmitigated bullshit in responses to fears of AI killing entire job classes. The idea that governments, especially in the US, will change policies is ludicrous. There is little to NO chance of UBI being implemented in the next 10 years.

I'm skeptical your last point. UBI is becoming a hotter topic, at least in the anglosphere. Hell, even the "evil overlords" of AI (who themselves are relatively powerless to stop a sufficiently intelligent AI from doing away with them) are interested in UBI. Money matters.
