The real question for me is:<p>What is motivating otherwise very intelligent people to promote the idea that AI will take all our jobs and&#x2F;or enslave us?<p>Possible answers:<p>1) To prop up their investments in AI to get higher valuation.<p>2) To reach a political goal, such as basic income, which is often justified as necessary in a world where computers and robots take over the work force.<p>3) ?
