All humans need to start being compensated for all the data they generate that gets collected. Start giving fractions of stock or whatever for all human input which can now more than ever be endlessly productized.

I had a similar thought recently[0], though I was thinking about it more from the copyright side. I think there needs to be some kind of additional tax taken from AI profits, possibly justified by copyrights, because otherwise the economic impact might end up being nuts.

Your inherent value as a data source becomes the justification for UBI
Incidentally, with the rise of OpenAI as a unicorn Sam Altman has seemed to get a lot less verbal about advocating UBI. Although I may be wrong about that.
I do not think this extra justification is necessary, but it is valid.
