You jest, but the parent is close to what I believe is a possible scenario - the one Nick Bostrom calls "a Disneyland with no children".

No tax, no flying cars, eventually not even humans around - just AI-driven companies endlessly trading with each other, in a fully-automated, self-contained, circular economy, from which sentient beings were optimized away.
