Those who say AI will bring about a post-scarcity utopia are naïve.
When societies have a surplus of a good that is high in demand, they rarely reorganize to ensure everyone gets what they need.
Consider food production. The globe already has a surplus food production. We currently feed enough to feed 10 billion people with a global population of 8 billion. There is a food surplus, yet millions of people starve each year.
Also, consider who is developing AI. Are these people who want to improve the human condition, or do they seek to enrich and accumulate power for themselves and their clique? and
