"Such a dystopian future we are heading into."

Were we restricted from ourselves determining our future, you would be correct. However, the law of physics has changed what means are available to humanity, and you note that automation of production has increasingly changed the value of labor. You yet fail to note that decentralization also alters the value of capital. Why should I buy shoes from Nike when I can print them at home for pennies using PLU and a 3D printer I spend a fraction of the value of a pair of Nike shoes to buy?

More and more, the means of production of the blessings of civilization inure to consumers of those blessings, and the examples of the Nikes is replicated across every field of industry. The law of physics determines what technology is possible, and in every field of industry decentralization of the means of production is the cutting edge of technological advance. The most advanced technology most increases productivity, and when we ourselves consume our production we eliminate parasitic losses of our productivity.

Rather than a dystopian slavery of thralls incompetent to provide themselves their necessities of life and hopelessly dependent on overlords for our survival at their whim, we actually are confronted with a prosperity we create as we merit at our sole option, and that utterly eliminates the parasitization of our production by overlords, who thus are not delivered the wealth that avails them power.

I continually point out the nascent opportunity the ambitious and competent have today to seize the means of production and gain independent means, which are the best definition of wealth as well as freedom. Amongst the means of production today is AI that can replace the wearisome repetitive labor and tedious learning curves requisite to specialized manufacturing of goods and services that deliver the blessings of civilization. Perhaps you have remained unaware of these new abilities nascent technological advances avail, or disbelieve my reports on these matters, but I am confident that if you seek to falsify my claims you will observe I am not deluded, making things up, or in any way misrepresenting our circumstances regarding our incredible good fortune being presented such opportunities.

Thanks!
