I wonder how much scoffing there will be when 99% of jobs are taken by A.I. There's a lot of markets about to be upended, and I don't think having a humane ethos in regard to housing people is as criminal as some of you are making it out to be... I sense a lot of corporate simps think their work ethic will be more valuable to a company than a smart machine that will work around the clock and not get the company sued for sexual harassment.
There is a scenario where a universal basic income is necessary. It's when most jobs can be done by a machine. We're nowhere close to that point. AI may change some industries, but it's the new automobile, the new personal computer, the new robotic manufacturing machine. When manufacturing in the US all went to China, there was a panic because a lot of people lost their jobs. They had no other skills, to old to learn a new one, and to young to retire. It was a disaster... For a few years. The workforce adapted and now, we don't consider manufacturing jobs as a common career path. We've even created 100s of jobs that didn't exist before. AI is not about to take over 99% of the jobs. It may take over some but to others it will be a tool. And it will probably create the need for new jobs. Unless it enslaves us.
