Eh. Society stops functioning when not working is a viable path. No one wants to work. The people training the AI, designing the machines that can perform physical actions, the people building and maintaining the assembly, the people working the jobs that can’t be performed by AI, etc. They will not have motivation to work if they have the option to not do so and live comfortably.
People act like it’s AI is threatening to remove the need for people to work. That is not anything even remotely feasible in any imaginable 50 year future.
Instead, it threatens to remove some jobs, while humanity has ample capacity for gainful employment elsewhere. So many industries are under staffed.
Ex: Maybe warehouse workers get largely replaced by drones, but the caretaking support industry could use a huge influx of able bodied workers. Etc etc.
