How tf do you expect people to pay for those goods and services without jobs? If we eliminate all the jobs that automation with AI tech would stand to eliminate without coming up with a plan, people lose their jobs and have no money. No money means no food, shelter, or buying any products. Sure at some point the ones getting rich off of it will eventually have to figure out a way for us to be able to buy again, but how many will die first? Remember the people who push this stuff are only interested in making as much money as they can, as quick as they can, they rarely look at or even care about the big picture beyond the next fiscal year.

Well I was going to respond to that nonsense but I think you've just about got it covered.

Unless the poorest can afford the stuff because their jobs were automated to cut costs. Unless there is a universal income, full AI automation will cost more than just money, it's going to cost lives. We already let people starve imagine what will happen when we no longer have any leverage to bargain for better pay.
