Some people think that once we have robots doing all the menial tasks that we don't want to do, then we will all be able to live in abundance

It would be interesting to see a discussion between you and taskmaster about this since he likes to use the phrase "age of abundance" when talking about the future with AI.

I have mostly been in the middle with regards to the future with AI. I do think that a lot of things will be more affordable [see cars, phones, etc.] with the advancements in technology, but I do think a UBI will be the way for regular people to survive.
