It has always been either the economy crashing because the AI bubble pops, or the economy crashes because the bubble didn't pop due to AI successfully replacing enormous numbers of workers.
It's not AI it's UBI. AI is going to happen. What was important was an orderly transition to UBI.
That goalpost will soon switch to "well, this wasn't the real ai anyway"
That was always the real goalpost. Any claims otherwise were just fraudulent marketing
