I think it's a consequence of abundance, which can lead to excess and undue waste if we begin to lose control of self-regulation.
Resources will have to fairly be being distributed; not through authoritarian collectivism mechanism, control and suppression isn't the answer - but through "a rising tide lifts all ships."
Tyranny is extremely expensive, and abundance generates exponential riches for all - so long as the greedy and authoritarian don't capture systems and implement policy that suppresses various populations; why I believe Elon Musk said he thinks UBI is inevitable, however how that manifests is important. A corruptable-capturable centralized state government is too much of a single point of failure to risk such a mechanism, and if learning from the efficiencies of free market systems then in reality it will be the controller(s) of systems who then employ and fund their workers enough [who voluntarily decide they are the best employer to support to accelerate the values-processes of the organization's hierarchy] via their inherent built-in profit mechanisms to the organizational structure, to allow for those families to thrive, and fuel evolution towards such a culture winning out; otherwise "leave the dead to bury the dead [who are misguided off a cliff by tyrants]" - as Jesus said.
I agree too, the "flashy AI fakes" are in my mind equivalent to porn, crafted to maximize excitement but void of soul-spirit-authenticity, etc; at least so far - I could see, as AI avatars begin to become a thing that an individual can refine to respond how they deem acceptable, could also craft or refine AI art generator styles to weight various aspects in much more nuanced way - that then reflects their own tastes and sensibilities.
