I really appreciate this post! Even though I think differently as I am against scarcity-based world perception and wouldn’t be happy with such a competitive approach to AI use. But I think that conversation with AI is a good way to learn more about new things.

[And no, I don’t hope that AI will help overcome scarcity. I think we create most of scarcity ourselves as humanity and that we have a reason for that (our assholery, living on since near-chimp times and leading to us starting to throw rocks and turds at each other).]

Oh, I absolutely don't want to live in a world of have's and have not's. I imagine that won't be the case sometime in the future, hopefully sooner rather than later. But there will inevitably be a transition period, and until the day I don't have to worry about my electricity bill, I would rather be able to pay it without feeling sick to my stomach.

I really hope we go through the transition to automation quickly with a temporary UBI implemented until we see how autonomous our society really becomes.
