What is stopping those that control AI from taking over?
I keep hearing people say "If nobody has jobs, then who is going to buy your products?"
If AI and robotics become advanced enough to replace all human jobs, then whoever controls those AI do not need a conventional economy anymore. As long as they have a large military force of AI to protect their production and resources, then they do not need consumers anymore.
At that point they have complete control and can do whatever they want. They can force you to be their slave or take your first born child and as long as their military AI is better than your military, then there is nothing you can do about it.
They can have robots build their mansions and entertainment, grow their food, cook, clean, whatever. I don't like AI, but I feel like this argument that consumers are needed is flawed.
