I don’t see where you addressed what people will do with all their new found spare time. I don’t believe you adequately addressed the impact on crime in your last point. What about violence, resistance to the new laws, and acts by those who have the knowledge to counteract and sabotage AI? What happens when a natural or man caused disaster destroys the electrical power supply for AI?

Perhaps I didn't. Please add your predictions. That's the purpose of this thread.

The largest impact may be from the unintended consequences, the unknown unknowns, for which we may not be prepared. Some will be blessings, some curses.

Cultural divides will change and embiggin based on the use of new and more leisure time. Some will pursue meaning and purpose through acquisition of knowledge and skills, even though they don’t need to because of AI. Others will abandon pursuit of meaning and purpose in favor of numbness and self-destruction.

There will be conflict over control of the controlling AI, possibly to include violence, likely to include one group’s AI trying to eliminate or consolidate another group’s AI.
