The future isn't built for us to work. That's the job of AI to replace work and most likely innovate a way around traditional work through technology.

My hope is that AGI will be so intelligent, so useful, that it can solve most of the worlds issues. The need for money would be completely arbitrary if something like a replicator existed, and I'd fail to see why someone would keep that from others. What power would there be to gain from normal people by elites if AGI could do anything? What importance would that relationship have?

The need for menial labor would be gone, and the idea of scarcity would be gone as well. Regular folks wouldn't have anything to offer. The whole world would have to restructure from the economic collapse that would ensue, and what would be rebuilt would hopefully be a united human race.

The idea of greed in this scenario might only be a factor for a short period - until the cats out of the bag.
