Of course AI will increase inequality... AI will be baked into more expensive products which the poor cannot afford.

Maybe. The question is which gets eaten first - capitalism, AI, or humanity in general?
Just think of all of those smart phones the poor can't afford.
Oh sure, yes AI will also be baked into products sold to poor, no it won't be for their benefit but rather to control, manipulate and rip them off. Kind of like advertising and surveillance now.
