This is really the fallacy with the AI economy that everyone is dreaming up. “A powerful magic AI will make all other roles redundant and I will be left on top capturing all the surplus”. Why will you be on top? What reason does anyone have to purchase software from you when they have access to the exact same AI?

Seems like a strawman... I don't know anyone who thinks they "will be on top" and beat the AI, it's more of a let's just make as much money as we can for now before AGI ruins us all.
