The humorously rich part about universal basic income is going to be the slow, step-by-step implementation of it, and how poor people or the unemployed won't have access to it for years.
First (This will last for about 8-10 years) the only ones able to access UBI are people whose jobs were decidedly replaced by AI. People are going to have to prove via W2s that their line of work is included in a government-mandated checklist of AI-interfered jobs/fields or that AI has replaced beyond a certain percentage.
So who are the people that will immediately be able to access UBI, and which are the roles that are first to go? Lets see:
>Data/Administrative roles
>Customer service
>Creative/Content
>Entry level accounting/bookkeeping
>Receptionists
So, this mainly means the women in the workforce who were basically already useless and provide no real value, but enjoy a moderate, livable wage. Think office mommies and Girlbosses who are currently making anywhere from $50k-$120k who literally do nothing and get paid for it. For the most part, these will be the only ones able to qualify and get access to UBI for like a decade.
If you're blue collar, a service worker, fast food cook, delivery driver or just general wageslave, poor etc, you'll have to continue slaving it, no UBI for you, because your job will not be officially marked as "replaced by AI".
