They will benefit from the basic income, they will be the pioneers of the 24x7 free time :)

> Bots will never be inventive.

Bots today may not be inventive, they are more pick and place type of bots, for repetitive and controlled tasks (with some exceptions already). But I do firmly believe AI reaches singularity, for sure! And at that point, bots will be as intelligent as humans and hours later 10x and hours later 100x more intelligent. Who's to say that human brains do not work similar to the 0's and 1's of computers we know nowadays; Maybe in a more complex way then the serial approach of single core cpu's? Who will be able to predict the outcome of quantum computation and computers that can analyse in multi dimensions we are far away from with todays fastest multi core super computers?

> If you know where invention comes from, you would understand that bots don't have that.

I do know were invetions come from, mostly taking information and/or idea and/or product from some market segment and apply it in another maret segment, with some modifications. Rarely really new inventions from zero to something are made, very rarely or maybe never anymore. Everything is based some idea, something already thought of before, or even seen in practise before.

> smartphone

Wrt to smartphone and so many other inventions. It is not what the people were asking for, it is what was developed and a market was created for it. People in general don't want new things, they want to keep the world as it is, most cannot even dream of new things, they are happy with what is around and what they now. That's why most new products need a long time to get some real market traction. Take Blockchain, before that is massively deployed in society and businesses, we will be 20-30 years from now. Like TCP/IP needed 20-30 years at least maybe even much longer to be applied, and HTTP needed 30-40 years to be turned into Internet as we know it. All very very slow in todays age with the ever faster computations we can do with machines.

I understand Blockchain, essentially transparent databases, will allow different models. But I really struggle with the geo locations and different models. Ie you neighbour is part of a complete different model/blockchain than you. How does it work for physical goods? Think of this: One model provides free food from a shop arround the corner that get somehow compensated for providing free food. The other is part of a model that requires to pay with something for the food. Will this require another shop? likely since otherwise the shop owner is required to be part of the 2 models. But maybe non of the retailers want to be part of some of the models that has members around the corner. So far I see different models living side by side kind-a theoretical but not practical.

Some people worry too much about the new future and don't get it.  It has nothing to do of being lazy, just more efficient. We are already rolling........maybe not as advanced yet. More and more incredible possibilities will open up quickly and there will be a significant progress in the next few years. 
My mind is all in it and kind of excited about different economic models but I might not experience those days to come. I am not that sad about it because I enjoyed my life without bots so far 🤒 I wish humans will find ways to become more "human" again, find another form of total freedom and independence. Not sure if this idealistic, wishful thinking is possible with so many bots around us?
