Let's imagine the ideal endgame:

AI becomes godlike and does everything for us.

N years down the road, 3 year old children can just tell AI to generate a custom game or cartoon for them on the spot.

What's left for humans to do?

Live on UBI, explore this wonderful world, colonize other planets..

And along the way, while anyone can make anything they can think of, it'll come down to who has the better idea, we might enter an Economy of Ideas, and maybe the Idea Guys™ will finally have their day :)

As soon as AI can tell original hilarious jokes, I am going to shut my doors and laugh myself to death.

If it helps, joke works when the punchline is unexpected, but obvious in retrospect.

"I was going to tell a time-traveling joke, but you didn't like it." (Hmm, stolen)

		>joke works when the punchline is unexpected, but obvious in retrospect. I have come to the conclusion that all art that works, have this trait in common.

If AI is so good then why would feeble humans travel to other planets? AI will use robots to discover them which don't need food, sleep, etc.

Humans on UBI will have a basic existence. UBI does not mean everyone will live in luxury, since luxury housing, locations are limited, so you'll get some simple aparment, simple food and bus tickets.

Evrything else will be luxury which those can get who can still be valuable in the system due to some unique skill.
