rhetoric: this is an appeal to macro econ theory (logos), citing 'expert analysts' that warn of the mathematical consequences of extra 'unearned' capital (without being tied to production) in the market.

inference: this is how I feel about the concept -- receiving money without earning it could lead to major issues down the road, especially if a large majority of the people decide to stop working in jobs that help to add value to society. Printing $$$ w/o corresponding human production (because the machine is doing the work) is a trap that dangerously increases the risk if price inflation (hyperinflation) and income stagnation, because it removes the motivation to continue adding value, and increases the incentive to essentially do nothing ('eat, drink, be merry'). This is one of the core arguments for my thesis, that humans are abdicating their agency, or at least at a very real danger of it, which leads to an infinite loop of "Workslop" ("Work slop" Medici)

rhetoric: summary of the counter-argument from the conservative side, using cause and effect reasoning/logic (that UBI causes loss of incentive)

inference: this is a major risk, and since these payments would be delivered to entire large economy, this could potentially cause the entire structure to collapse, because the productive class can very easily and quickly shrink, with a massive bill that the taxpayers (productive class) would need to cover.

another great quote -- ties into the abdicating human agency to a robot, and the full quote even illustrates the dangers of doing so.

great quote. validates my thesis that AI cannot replace the human, and the human needs to be the brains for the AI worker. This also directly relates to my concept that humans have a tendency to abdicate their agency to AI, as if it is superior in human logic, context, emotional intelligence and critical analysis within the context of the human world.

'workslop' is creeping into businesses. This section mentions AI-generated content, slide decks, and even lengthy reports or 'random code' being passed off as polished work by employees!
