I'm sure we could organize it if that would be the goal.

Right? So what's the current goal, and why is it better than this one?

Power itself seems to be the goal, and the reasons for it is human DNA I think. I have doubts that we can build anything different than this (on a sufficiently long run).

Power might be a goal for individuals, but surely it's not the goal for society as a whole?
Does society as a whole even have a goal currently? I don't really think it does. Like do ideologists even exist today?
I wish society was working towards some kind of idea of utopia, but I'm not convinced we're even trying for that. Are we?

I don't feel like we have goals as a society either.

No, it would be impossible to organize. Planned economies have always failed at that scale, and always will. AI won't change that reality.

I'm pretty sure it's not impossible, but rather just improbable, because of how human nature works. In other words, we are not incentivized to do that, and that is why we don't do that, and even when we did, it always fell apart.
You are very right that AI will not change this. As neither did any other productivity improvement in the past (directly).
