I have a feeling that Basic Income will be a societal upgrade and people will still work, but I don't think it's going to solve wealth disparity. My gut says that it will actually make disparity more obvious, just people at the bottom won't be struggling as hard. Anyways, this is mere speculation. What do I know?

Maybe, but the people who live in the low life are really struggling to survive. UBI can change that and given them an opportunity to arise.
Which is a good thing, does it?
Plus, give the future a little bit more time, when science and technology become advanced enough, maybe the problem can be resolved naturally?
