Where do you fit in the new aiconomy

The first thing I would like to establish is a fact that ...

It doesn't matter how we humans struggle, eventually we will be inferior to artificial intelligent machines within every aspect of life but one, the one of being humans.

You could argue that a reason for this to happen is that humans evolves in a, at best, linear fashion and artificial intelligence evolves in an exponential but the main reason for why this is going to happen is that thousands of highly skilled experts around the world works with this problem every single day. And they all do it for the same reason as usual, if somebody else gets it and they don't, they are screwed.

What worries me is that the implications of this seems to be entirely overlooked in modern politics where the strategy still is built around a dream of continuous expansion where people are needed, must be educated, find jobs, provide for them selves and their families and consume a never ending stream of new products. I don't think this will be the case at all.

In a future aiconomy i.e. an economy based on artificial intelligence, humans are no longer needed. Not in an traditional higher productivity fashion where people , instead of doing boring tasks, can educate themselves and get new more interesting jobs, no not like that at all, I mean they are not needed, period.

This will be the golden days for resource owners, who will be able to buy mechanical slaves that will work night and day in every area of their production, from agriculture to mining to production to cooking, cleaning, transportation and on and on. And this will be a terrible time for people who don't own resources, because they will only have their philosophical value of being human to lean on, something the politicians not discuss that much these days.
