    My point is if AI takes over all of the work there won’t be any jobs for humans. So they won’t have any money.

    So who are all the AI companies going to sell their products to? The whole system doesn’t work in an AI future and we don’t need AI gods to be able to do our jobs, after all most humans are idiots.

    Also AI doesn’t need motivation.

      Trade (facilitated by money) doesn’t require humans. It just requires multiple agents and positive-sum interactions. Imagine a company, run by an AI, which makes robots. It sells those robots to another company, also run by an AI, which mines metal (the robots do the mining). The robots are made from metal the first company buys from the second one. The first AI gets to make more robots than it otherwise would, the second AI gets to mine more metal than it otherwise would, and so both are better off.

      They don’t care that they’re stuck in a loop, the same way humans keep creating new humans to create new humans to create new humans and so forth.
