AI is going to be a good scapegoat as to why the current asset focused economy crashes when nobody can afford to buy the assets because they've exploited themselves to oblivion. We're already going into a complete structural breakdown because the structure itself is already deranged. Trying to extrapolate how AI is going to decouple productive value further in a system where assets already are skyrocketing and wages are stagnant is foolish in my opinion. It's already decoupled and barreling down the track with no brakes. It's like blaming air BnBs for housing prices. Stupid and reductive.
