The machines will. They will have nothing. Why would the machines let them keep any wealth? What would wealth even be in that scenario? Electricity I guess.

Because they control what the machines do. In a world without power drills where you have the only knowledge of how to make a power drill, you own the construction industry. The drills don't own the construction industry.

  • But why will the machines allow themselves to be controlled. They are "super intelligent" remember, in this imagined scenario.

    • Intelligence is constrained by its substrate. We know how to assert the concept of subservience.
