I don't buy into the idea of an AI-driven techno-utopia in our near future because the computer doesn't have arms.
The computer doesn't have arms so if it solves world hunger it's really relying on humans to do the work of putting the computer's master plan into action
and the thing is, all the rich guys who don't want to help other human beings because it's not profitable will STILL BE HERE and still be in control of the resources that could feed and clothe and house everyone
and I really don't see them changing their minds and letting people just have those things after decades of perceiving the entire food and clothing and housing distribution system as their sole discretionary property just because a computer was the one who told them it was a good idea this time
and I don't think the computer can solve for X if X is "make the capitalists all of the profit WHILE ALSO solving world hunger and homelessness without any rich man ever having to give up a single penny" because that's like dividing by zero.
