Digital abundance is meaningless. Until these AIs allow us to never think about famine, war, disease and whatnot they are basically toys.

Add to that that there is already no shortage of digital abundance. This "AI Awesomeness" will only add its (abysmally low-quality by human standards) output to that, which makes it even more meaningless.

You’re probably right but it’s interesting to think of a world where everything can be printed on demand for example (assuming extraction and recycling with zero friction)

Printing stuff in the real world would create physical abundance, which I'm in favor of. Until the AIs aren't able to produce real world object then they're not that awesome
