This is one of the most infuriating arguments AI proponents make. It is absolutely ridiculous on its face if you think about it for more than a second.
Yesterday someone quoted Elon at me, which go fuck yourself but I digress, saying "we'll have universal basic abundance". Who? Not me and you, that's for fucking sure because we literally have enough RIGHT NOW. So where is it? Rhetorical question of course because the same dickhead making these absurd claims about a tech utopia is also actively fighting against systems that would make it harder for people like him to hoard so much wealth.
Goddamn it.
