That might be your problem, but isn't the problem being discussed.

> so the question is, how do we get from the current situation to this life of abundance without letting the majority of people suffer in the transition.

The question is, from the perspective of what is being discussed, who cares? "I got mine" applies.

> less and less labor is needed

If those with the magical AI no longer need labor, it is more likely, as counterintuitive as it may seem, to lead to more and more labor! How? Well, if those with the magical AI no longer need people to work for them, they'll simply disappear from the economy. Which means everyone else without the magical AI will be the economy, and labor is what they most have to offer, so that is what they will trade.

What will they eat? Whose land might they be allowed to grow their food on?
