People are anti AI for obvious and valid reasons, but I think we should focus on where the profit goes and not on hating the technology itself.
Of course, if people are fired and only capital owners / AI experts get to earn anything then this is wrong and a revolution is obviously needed and unavoidable.
But for me, the best outcome would be if it was AI that did all the jobs so people could focus on doing what they want, not that we'd go back to pre-AI era..
Initially however we need to balance between full wealth redistribution and keeping the incentive to develop AI further.
Of course by AI I mean really useful AI, the real part, not the marketing part.
People need purpose. They may want money, etc but you see it all the time. People get bored and want something to channel their energy into.
So even universal income won't solve everything, not that it's ever likely.
