That's not what's going to happen.

To benefit from automation, you need to take the initiative to integrate automation into your own workflow. The idea that someone else will automate your job, but you will somehow benefit is a fantasy.

If we do get UBI, it won't replace lost wages from losing your job. Most of that money will go to the team at your company who set up GPT to do your work and the rest will be distributed among shareholders.

This is Calvinist "only those who work deserve to live" bullshit.

And this just doesn't make sense. Do you know what "UBI" even means? By definition, it goes to the people. All of them. Universally, even.

Even if your claim is that somehow your UBI will be sucked up by inflated costs, I don't see how it follows that it goes to your company.
