Personally, I'd rather have inequality if it means everyone can live a peaceful life. Let the rich have their yachts or whatever.
I don't see why the increased productivity provided by AI won't make things better, given that all of the ills of the world are caused by scarcity: that is, insufficient productivity.
Thank God a large majority of people with ironclad convictions don't think like you.
"Inequality" is just an academic word for "Keeping up with the Jones'". Each generation has more material good, both necessities and otherwise, than previous generations. It's only through comparison that people are made to feel poor. Rather than look at trends of poverty and flourishing, people are made to feel cheated by not getting a slice of someone else's pie.
