Sure, but I'm not really a believer that any government will have the political power to restructure the economy. At least nothing would actually change unless states utterly collapsed and there's loss of life.

I don't think AI is going to replace everything either. It will be a cheap knockoff replacement for a lot of decent low paying middle class jobs, enough to do real damage, but not catastrophic. We will be forced to adapt like we always do and the wealth disparity continues to widens like it has been.

I guess if anything, we'll make life so efficient that people will start to question if we need our life to be so efficient. There comes a point when you start having diminishing returns on all that efficiency. We'll still have the same problems we always do, with bad relationship breakups, or addiction, or whatever. AI will never fix those things.

So in my mind, the logical conclusion is just a march toward mediocrity and feeling handcuffed to whatever situation you were born into.
