His concept of "utopia" is one where only robots work, and humanity looking more like B&L customers in a WALL-E world. (infosec.pub)

Elon Musk predicted that AI and robots would eventually allow work to become optional for human beings, that money would become “irrelevant” and poverty would cease to exist.

I mean first off, we'll need "AI" to actually mean something other than marketing bullshit. Actual AI (what's being called 'AGI' nowadays, but that'll be bastardized the same way 'AI' was) doesn't exist outside of science fiction. If that day ever comes (my money's on humans being extinct before we get there), then yeah that's gonna be a humanity changer in par with discovering fire or electricity.

Second, we'll need the folks who run that tech to actually be benevolent, and the odds of a billionaire becoming benevolent are even lower than real AI becoming a reality.

Third, poverty could cease to exist RIGHT NOW if people like Elon Musk got the guillotine treatment they deserve. No AI necessary.

Never forget that elmo ran his mouth about using his money to solve world hunger, and when the UN organization in charge of hunger came back with a detailed plan... nothing. Poof. The little shit tucked tail and ran.

Oh no we're never forgetting that, or the fact that shortly after he used even MORE money than what the UN proposed to buy Twitter instead
