If they actually achieve AGI I don't understand what money would even mean anymore. It essentially is just a mechanism for getting people to do things they don't otherwise want to do, if the AI can do it just as well as the human, but for free other than the electricity costs, why the hell would you pay a human to do it?
It's like saving up money, in case of nuclear war. There are a few particular moments in history where the state of the world on the far side of the event is so different to the world on this side of the event that there's no point making any kind of plans based on today systems.
I see what you're saying and I agree that if, for example, we get an AI god then money won't be useful. However, that's not the only possible near-future outcome and if the world as we know it doesn't end then money can be used by AIs to get other AIs to do something they don't otherwise want to do.
My point is if AI takes over all of the work there won't be any jobs for humans. So they won't have any money.
So who are all the AI companies going to sell their products to? The whole system doesn't work in an AI future and we don't need AI gods to be able to do our jobs, after all most humans are idiots.
Also AI doesn't need motivation.
hence the worldcoin stuff - not just machine to machine. allows "ai" to perform real world action through human incentivization. entirely disturbing if you ask me.
