If the AI machines were not being subsidised they would cost more than human generated ones.

It's not sustainable long term. Even cantillionaires got no resources to spend on this once full socialist pod life is inflicted on the morons who will accept it.

The AI hype is just part of the campaign to sell The Venus Project style "computational socialism".

Just like communism of its various flavours, it will rapidly devolve into breadlines and famines and too many leather boots for the gestapo.
