I keep seeing this worry about "who will consume?!!?" This is entirely unfounded - the AI will develop its own marketplace and AI will consume.

The question is, will be there anything left for humans to consume ? will we survive ?

Currently AI isn't allowed to own assets AFAIK.

    Of course they are allowed, they're called "corporations" because they have a "body" and legal rights.

    The datacenter is held by a corporation, and the corporation does what the resident AI wants it to do.

      Who owns the corporation though? It has to be humans. And corporations need to have a board of directors composed of humans.

Buy acre of land, plant potatoes, raise chicken, pay your tithe to your landlord. People will survive, for sure. Not all of them, but enough.

    There won’t be any such leases if machines can make more productive use of the land than a potato farmer.
