Loss of paid employment opportunities and increasing inequality are real world concerns.
UBI isn't coming by itself.
Worst case scenario humans mostly go back to manual labor, which would fix a lot of modern day ailments such as obesity and (some) mental health struggles, with added enormous engineering advancements based on automatic research.
Manual labour jobs are not magically going to appear.
Sure, but those are also real world concerns in the non-AI alternate timeline. As is the unlikelihood of UBI.
Yes, but they are likely dramatically accelerated in the AI timeline.
