Did you forget about all the endless solar panels and wind turbines that the AI robots progressively built over the years, for an increasingly cheaper price? Energy is abundant now.

They also built a bunch of AI robot factories, so now we have effectively limitless AI robot labor. Everyone has AI robot assistants/friends now.

> Even if it was super cheap, there is no reason for their owners to share its output with anyone unless they have something to give in return. You know “trade”.

But they have something to give in return. These owners want authentic human experiences, which can only be provided by other people, not AI robots.

Authentic human experiences (or hand-built goods) are thus now much scarcer, since most people don't need to work anymore. They're sort of luxury goods/services. In this world, imagine how much you'd be willing to pay to have an exclusive, authentic house maid or hairdresser for one day, rather than just another AI robot, no matter how good it is.

Or imagine dining at a restaurant where every waiter and every cook are authentic humans, wow! An unforgettable (and prohibitively expensive) experience.

Of course, not everyone could afford that, unless they themselves are willing to provide such a service. Most people would eat at home (with food farmed, prepared/cooked and delivered by the AI robots and drones, of course), or just go to regular AI robot restaurants if they're feeling especially fancy.
