Just a note—in terms of overall economy, owning shares, UBI, etc. aren’t real—they’re just bits and paper. Actual wealth on this scale is in terms of goods and services consumed.
There will be a general increase of human wealth through reduction in cost of providing almost all goods and services. But that’s never enough—we will also need to find ways for humans to provide value to AIs and each other.
It may be there’s a large part of humanity that is purely takers, and not actually providing value (not just net-negative, but no legible value input). My prediction is that won’t last more than a generation or two—it’s hard to know why the AIs and productive people would reduce their consumption to keep the non-productive around.
