    Price of human intelligence is also falling rapidly. I suspect looking pretty is going to go up in value more rapidly.

      If human intelligence stops being the trait that propels one up the socioeconomic ladder, it will not be good looks that takes its place. The ability to project physical force will become currency. This is why AI could cause civilized societies to completely unwind.
