    Old people don’t pay much in taxes and AI doesn’t pay tax at all, so without the tax revenue of regular working class people all the social security benefits that the old people rely on will go bankrupt.

      Hmm, that sounds sus. A society suddenly experiencing less labour demand because of technological advancement is a society that is, overall, enjoying the same level of wealth without the cost. If those benefits can’t be used to help those who are worse off due to the change, then it is some beneficiaries within the society that are causing the harm.
