    Increasing wealth has only ever been observed to fuel greater inequality.

    I don’t see any evidence that the value that increasing automation is bringing will be distributed more evenly.

    We produce enough food for everyone and still let people starve - equal access to AI is even harder to justify than equal access to food.

      You would just have to let an superintelligent (aligned) AI robot loose and prompt it to produce enough food for everyone. It wouldn’t even be any maintaining effort, once the robot had been created. If it doesn’t have any negative consequences to the creators to have positive consequences for everyone else, and there are any empathetic people on the board of creators, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be programmed to benefit everyone.
