I’m not thrilled about it, but I think this is going to happen.
I don’t like it either (the prospect of UBI), but there won’t be many other alternatives to address the climbing numbers of people effected by AI’s ‘Spreading Blob” effect.
Something’s going to need to already be in place to assist with the material needs of all the newly unemployed and unemployable.
It won't end well.
We have already done an experiment on this. We gave welfare to the poor in inner cities here in the U.S.
We'll have to transition to a society that's more religious. Eventually, we'll do that.
I’m no Nostradamus, but I think that as the number of jobs shrink they will start passing laws like bars cannot play recorded music, that all music must be played by live bands of actual humans.
