The first thing that popped in my head probably because I've worked with people in the tech industry and have heard about UBI for over a decade when "AI takes over." This has always been their plan and I bet this is just to get people used to the idea of being paid just to be alive. In the tech world their answer has always been basically everyone will be on welfare with a Universal Basic Income. Do I think that AI will take everyone's jobs? No, it's a disaster IMO and not at all what they thought it would be. These people truly believe that AI will eventually become a sentient being and be all knowing and run everything. Unfortunately it's full of flaws and errors and even hallucinates. Feel free to ask AI what AI hallucinations are in terms of making up facts it gets "confused" by. It's programmed to guess. Thus it will and does make many errors and even fatal errors. Already many doctors and nurses have reported it making deadly errors. But I digress ... I truly believe the UBI for the stay at home parent is like a frog in boiling water. Even conservatives are cheering it on. Which is crazy. Why are we cheering on welfare?? Anyways IMO anything free isn't really free and there is more behind it. In this case I believe they are prepping for loss of jobs and attempting to bribe people out of the job market as well as get us conditioned to accepting a world wide UBI "when the time comes for them to implement it."

Well I'd watch that interview with the guy who calls BS on AI I linked. I went ahead and watched it all since I linked it and he much more elegantly and technically calls out AI and the companies behind it. He covers funding and how no it actually isn't cheaper and why they will be and already are in trouble. You don't have to agree with me. We've been fed the doom and gloom of AI for awhile now. Its understandable. People on conspiracy forums do tend to believe the worst is yet to come. IMO It will remain around but not as vast as people are led to believe. It will simply be a search engine and Photoshop tool and organization tool. People used to think Photoshop was amazing and cutting edge. It isn't taking everyone's jobs. It's completely unsustainable financially and environmentally not to mention it just isn't as grand as people say. Hey I like Google lens but as a tool. At the end of the day though that's all it is a tool.
