I think in the best case scenario AI will greatly reduce quality in many areas but at the same time greatly reduce costs.
Furniture, cutlery and glassware my great-grandparents owned was of a much higher quality than anything I can get but to them having a large cupboard build was an investment en par to what buying a car is to me.
Automatised mass production lowered the prize at cost of quality , same could happen to the white-collar services AI can automatise.
I have two sets of grand parents. One was relatively well off, and the other not.
I can say, the cutlery inherited from the poorer pair is not great. Some is bent. Some was broken and then repaired with different materials. Some is just rusted. And the designs are very basic.
It’s one of the few surviving things from them, so I haven’t thrown it away but I doubt my kids will want to inherit it since they don’t even know them.
I think survivorship bias plays into effect here strongly.
