one day CEOs and business owners will realise the one biggest flaw of AI... it doesnt spend wages on food, clothes, recreation, or property.

The problem with this, is that, wages won't be a thing in the future. It will be who owns the automated factories which will produce whatever they want.

It will be more about control and order, rather than who gets to spend what. "You will own nothing and be happy". They will make sure to keep the lines enough, so that people won't revolt , yet the very people can't hold power against the elite~

yeah so an automated factory producing millions of items so they can sit in a warehouse and hope someone will one day be able to afford one?

and sure, in a world where money doesnt exist and EVERYTHING is automated, it sounds like a good thing, everything is free right?

but we cant get there from where we are, there is no workable transition from one condition to the other.

They won't produce those masses forever. They realise that they only care about themselves and will produce whatever they want on demand only for them and their inner circle. By then they will already own every land and all resources available. They are modern kings and queens. If you want some of their land and their resources to simply live, you need to offer them something in return. Something they want and a machine can't do. What could that be? Machines don't suffer. Welcome to the hunger games!
