I almost agree with this, but I want to add that the poor people of the future will live no worse than today's rich, and even their housing will look luxurious compared to today's standards. The food will look like it was prepared in a top restaurant, with personalized design and cooking by robot chefs, which will become very accessible due to the decreasing cost of technology. If we compare the level of comfort that today's laborers can afford to that of the 19th century workers described in Dickens' books, we can see how much progress has been made. However, the rich of the future will undoubtedly benefit much more from a society based on artificial intelligence.

Why? There's no incentive to increase living standards.

Technology is getting cheaper, which means you can get the same product/service or even more for same or less money.

Where would you get the money and technology from? This cheaper thing is entirely dependent on them currently and won't be necessary once they have AI.
