Under AI humans have less and less to do.  I have pointed out for years that AI and robotics produce goods and services without human labor, but robots are not in the market purchasing goods and services.  As humans have no income from employment, how are the non-human produced goods and services distributed?

I said that humans would have to be given a basic income and that this would be the way equality is achieved.  As humans would not be producers, there is no reason for different incomes based on merit or luck. 

AI and robotics are the path to socialist equality.  But, of course, there is no equality as humans are subordinate to the machines. Moreover, what is the point of the humans? Why should AI produce for superfluous humans?

A day or two ago Elon Musk agreed with me when he said that a universal basic income would be necessary as AI and automation are replacing jobs, thus depriving humans of earning money from working.

Does humanity really want to be born into a world in which they are useless and unneeded, with no prospect of any higher development, with nothing to do but to spend their universal basic income for their needs or wants and watch disinformation on a video screen?

In effect, AI means humans will be ruled by machines.
