okay well i can't predict the future but i can say what i think is most probable. I think covid was a one-time thing and unrelated to AI. In the near future there will be a world-wide economic crisis that could devastate the lifestyle of enormous numbers of people. Besides that crisis, middle-class affluence will continue to wane due to the free flow of cheap labour between nations. Wars and revolutions will continue to happen, they never stop. Despite how crazy the USA may seem, it is probably relatively stronger now than it's ever been, and will likely get stronger as it gains control of more and more resources. The general trend is for more surveillance and micro-management of everyone. I think 'AI abundance' is for now a pipe-dream. Its at least 20 years away. And even if it was here now what good does it do? Do you really want to sex up a robot? Will the robot clean your room and make you a sandwich? You'd be better off cleaning your own room and making your own sandwich, rather than becoming a kind of decadent slave owner. Anyway, if you ignore all the FUD of current times and appreciate each day, it's a wonderful life. Every day, better than ever! The worlds your oyster. Work hard, play hard, save in gold, silver, and the real bitcoin! Hooray!
