Morality in the world of AI super abundance

Recently chatgpt solved a naviers stroke equation which was a millenium prize problem. It was unsolved for 90 years and was a fundamental problem in fluid dynamics.

I think with this we have officially landed into an era where AI can take over most jjobs and produce everything and human intelligence would be needed for very niche creative tasks and all day day regular jobs will be gone soon...

I think what it does it it challenges objectivist morality now. Suppose we live in a time of abundance where getting food etc was not a concern and a machine can produce things for you. What kind of morality would apply in this kind of world.

All ideas of rationality and individual rights are tied to this process of creation. If the process of creation is kinda taken away and is done by machines, it challenges the fundamentals of individual rights as well.

The thing that scares me the most here is that it can lead to leftist altuistic statist societies where a central govt will start giving people basic income but also start controlling things like in a leftist world.

How to deal with this is something we all will have to sit and think and brainstorm
