>You think you are going to have a hobby and get to do your own things in this scenario? Really? Nobody would care! You can learn to paint, sing or write music. But it’s not going to be recognized or even seen in the world where every second AI generates million more pieces.
The AI in the VR worlds might care, supposing we ever get intelligent AI.
>How are you going to motivate them to learn, even to write and read?
At some point, there will probably be enhancements to help with learning.
The VR worlds themselves could be where they end up learning anyway.
>“Hey son, if you won’t study you’ll be on the streets!”
If they have UBI, they likely won't end up on the streets, but in small apartments.
>And there we all will be, cows that eat, shit and sleep and consume entertainment non stop.
Not too much different from now, aside from many people not having to work.
Is suffering through work all that makes humans different from cattle?
Also, who'd care what they seem like at that point?
The AI (assuming AI can even think at that point and that they'd care)?
>unmotivated to even move their fat bodies
Probably going to have remedies for that, sooner or later.
Might end up becoming more like those pods in The Matrix.
>these “big corporations” are going to stop producing and supplying everyone. Because why would they continue? What would be the point? People would rise up and go protesting?
More likely that they'd end up doing the same things and just leave AI systems in charge of everything.
Only the staunch anti-VR people would spend more time in real life, but at that point, they could probably just go planet colonizing and leave the others alone.

>slowly dying out.
There'll probably be a solution for that too.
