produced by AI and therefore keep the corporations in business? It won't. We would have to transform into a democratic socialist nation where the government does a lot more and increases taxes on corporations. I'm all for that! Humanity will suddenly have a lot of free time for learning, leisure and love! We are currently moving in the wrong direction for an AI revolution.
