Do we see a society where the market will value humans over AI without, like, any specific thing impelling the market to do that?

I mean, a combination of political and economic factors from 1930s to 1960s forced the wealthy to return a portion of the returns of automation to the remaining working people. Then from the late 70's till now, those in power have clawed back all those gains.

Of course, any further gains from automation will go to the very wealthy unless things change.
