It’s embarrassing at this point. Give it up.

If AI really generates so much wealth UBI becomes much easier to justify and downright irrational to not implement.

UBI money needs to come from somewhere. Hence it will and can never happen. Fake money helps nobody. There is no difference between getting 0, 1000 or 10000 fake dollars a month if they value of the dollar will go to zero

we just need to break the second law of thermodynamics, no big deal
And what's your solution to mass unemployment due to AI?
If you play this out, UBI or some near variant is inevitable.
