Raw LLM Responses

AI is one powerful tool that looks to have a potentially massive effect on humanity, but even less intelligent tools such as forms of machine learning like deep learning look to have huge impacts on society as we know it as well, along with non-intelligent tools of automation like self-driving vehicles and even hamburger machines. [A recent article](https://medium.com/basic-income/self-driving-trucks-are-going-to-hit-us-like-a-human-driven-truck-b8507d9c5961) took a close look at one such example via the potential impact of self-driving trucks alone on the American economy. It concluded: > As close as 2025 — that is in a mere 10 years — our advancing state of technology will begin disrupting our economy in ways we can’t even yet imagine. Human labor is increasingly unnecessary and even economically unviable compared to machine labor. And yet we still insist on money to pay for what our machines are making for us. As long as this remains true, we must begin providing ourselves the money required to purchase what the machines are producing. > Without a technological dividend, the engine that is our economy will seize, or we will fight against technological progress itself in the same way some once destroyed their machine replacements. Without non-work income, we will actually fight to keep from being replaced by the technology we built to replace us. > Just as our roads a decade from now will be full of machine drivers instead of human drivers, a 21st century economy shall be driven by human consumers, not human workers, and these consumers must be freely given their purchasing power. If we refuse, if we don’t provide ourselves a universal and unconditional basic income soon, the future is going to hit us like a truck — a truck driven solely by ourselves. Would you agree that technology like AI poses a danger to our economies in its ability to replace human labor, and that we should consequently make sure to break the link between work and income so that
