Have you ever watched Star Trek the Next generation?
It's set for 300 years from now. There was a really fascinating episode that ties into this question. the "Enterprise" somehow finds some pods floating in space. They bring them aboard the ship, and there were three people that were frozen during our time.
They brought them back to life. One was a businessman. He was asking the captain how much money he made. No one on the ship knew what money was, except the android robot. (he knows everything)
Three hundred years from now, people will only work if they love their job.
But that's way in the future. Watch some YouTube videos on this topic. Elon says the UBI will happen, because there is no alternative.
There will always be a need for the human touch in any trade, no matter how advanced there are just some things machines can't do. If worst comes just find another trade/line of work. Ps. Farmers and Ranchers are always looking for a hired hand. :)
The businesses. Go on YouTube and check it out. Bill Gates thinks that individual robots should pay an income tax, but I think that's less than a great idea.
I am just saying that I don’t see super intelligent robots down in a sewer or doing construction up in a high rise. There will always be jobs for humans to do. .
People will have to fill more creative jobs. Menial and manual work will have to be granted to robots, though I don't see letting a robot run something where people can bet hurt etc
They'll have to adapt or form a closed community that will have to be poor. Their social labour crystallised in the products or services they would eventually want to bring to the market to be exchanged for a money commodity - gold, silver, nowadays dollars etc - would be considered overpaid and thus unbuyable.
You can get your wheat harvested by a robot for 1 dollar/hour or by a group of men for 4 dollars/hour. Everyone's gonna choose the robot, so their only way of getting money so they can exchange it later for other commodities that have a use value for them is to lower their wage beyond their sustainable magnitude or to form a closed society that would either impose a new sort of currency of poor people or share the means of production, thus allowing socialism to grow.

No, the person that runs the company with the robots will not want to share. It will never happen. People will just live in poverty.

@StevieNix I think the future will be more like Mad Max and less like Star Trek.
It could be.

Stephan Hawking watched the Terminator too many times and warned people not to fuck with artificial intelligence, but he was right
No, we'll have to switch to vampire elite who get to live while the lower people are drained of their blood
Won't happen at least not full scale. Humans need to work.
If humans don't work that affects their health and crime will seriously be sky high.

Who pays the taxes so the state can fund a universal income? Money doesn't grow on trees

Nah, social credit is the future
It'll be globally recognised, equally shared out so expect things to be rationed out and will be hell to live with
The cost of this technology will be prohibitive for many industries, I don't think this transition will be a quick one.
Ironic, I’m ok with this as laborers should use that money for an education.
New labor is mind labor.
Super intelligent robots would not do a lot of the work humans do. lol
Name one thing.
@StevieNix It was meant as a joke, if they were super intelligent wouldn't they think for themselves? After all they can learn and adapt can't they?
Just like computer, they will follow their programming.
Some programs learn from interactions like computer chess.

What will happen to people who aren't creative?

I don't know.
There's gonna be poor genocide for sure
It's called universal basic income.
Robots VS the Humans
Become a mechanic
Yea. The minimum
It will be a world civil war if it happened
Have you researched this?
Very good question! Although it's a scary topic
We can do it with crypto currency.
No we can't.
@StevieNix yes we can lol. Anyone can create their own money now.
