    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! AI is gonna make both work and capital property redundant for Universal Social wage of recreant citizens all on the same level of income, is that a fair and accurate assessment?

     
     
    While current data from 2025 indicates that AI is significantly reshaping the economy, your assessment that it will make work and capital property redundant for a universal social wage is a subject of intense debate rather than a confirmed reality.

     

     
    Current Economic Impact of AI (2025)
    • Job Transformation vs. Redundancy: Reports from 2025 show that while AI is displacing millions of roles—estimated at 92 million globally—it is simultaneously projected to create approximately 170 million new roles.
    • Augmentation over Replacement: In many sectors, AI is "augmenting" rather than replacing work. Jobs requiring AI skills now command a 56% wage premium, suggesting that work is becoming more specialized rather than redundant.
    • Sector Vulnerability: Routine cognitive tasks (data entry, administrative) are highly at risk of automation, whereas roles involving human empathy, judgment, and physical trades remain less likely to be automated. 
     
    The Universal Social Wage (UBI) Debate
    • Arguments for UBI: Prominent tech figures like Elon Musk suggest an 80% chance that AI will lead to "universal high income" where human work is unnecessary. Proponents argue UBI is a necessary cushion for "technological unemployment".
    • Arguments Against Redundancy: Critics argue that UBI fails to address the "enormous built-in inequality" of an AI economy where capital owners still reap most rewards. Others suggest work provides "meaning and dignity" that a social wage alone cannot replace.
    • Implementation Challenges: 2025 economic analysis highlights that UBI would be "extraordinarily expensive" and may not be the most efficient tool compared to wage subsidies or improved social safety nets. 
     
    Is Capital Property Becoming Redundant?
    • Concentration of Wealth: Far from becoming redundant, capital ownership in AI technology is currently a primary driver of inequality. Some experts suggest that instead of just redistributing income, society may eventually need to redistribute capital ownership (e.g., shares in the AI/robots) to ensure equitable outcomes.
    • Productivity Gains: AI-exposed industries have seen 3x higher growth in revenue per employee in 2025, which primarily benefits the owners of that capital unless specifically taxed or redistributed. 
    In summary, while AI is causing "job chaos" and fueling the argument for a universal social wage, work is currently evolving rather than disappearing, and capital remains a central, highly concentrated source of economic power.
