I've thought about it.  AI, and the bots will eventually do everything better than humans.
So, the question becomes, what do humans do?  Sure, basic income is great, but I think people want at least the illusion of working and being productive.
So, how do you solve this problem? You create competitions. In this future a person gets a minimum amount of money simply entering a government run competition.
People will be given a certain amount for being in a competition.
Every day there's one competition you can enter.
Everyone gets a minimum of $50 for simply entering, and "competing"
The better you do in a certain competition, the more money you get.

There will be many competitions to choose from.  One of these is hopefully classic gaming competitions.
Perhaps classic gaming gets a resurgence when this becomes a reality 30 to 150 years from now?
