That is true only in theory.

The capitalist system requires gigantic levels of wealth inequality. So while some people will paint pictures on Mars, the majority will dwell broke in abject poverty on earth.

How an AGI will rule is hard to forsee.

I admit, that from the current state of our society this idea depicts an utopia.

And it remains to be seen how those rapidly changing circumstances alter the way we live. Yet I remain (probably falsely) positive and hope that we learn from the illustrations of dystopian "cyber futures" and steer to a more positive future!

Looks like dystopia for now, every data point is regressing. There is also the question what an AGI will think of humanity?

Brought up in a hyper capitalist society it might, rightfully so, come to the conclusion that darwinism is the natural state of the world. Since humans place no value in the common good amongst themselves, why should an artificial intelligence? Thus, wipe out humanity.

Even the most powerfull trillionaire is nothing to an ASI and it's capabilities, eventually.
