Well, that depends on the education they received, if they are aware of the value of things, and not think that free money goes to waste then, it will be a good thing, because having a steady income, that allows you to have basic things, while you use some of that spare time, to improve yourself, with all the resources available, and then aspire something more, otherwise it's a rat race, from the ones that had nothing and need to get to that basic level, to the ones that have everything from birth. Educate, educate and let the younger ones have all the knowledge they need, not just give away randomly, because some individuals will get the message, while others will simply waste the 'FREE' money ...

As an engineer and soon Data Scientist, I can say this is possible, although I agree with you on the agenda, there will be a shift in the labor force, right now we have deep fakes, and algorithms that can effectively identify objects, doing regression is one of the methods but I have been in Watson's lab and what you can do with an AI depends on the quality of data you feed them. Your robots can be as intelligent as you want, for instance the so called deep learning has been here forever, known as neural networks. My own primitive robots have some sort of 'Intelligence', you can see it right now on the algorithms on Netflix, Amazon, Facebook, Google ... they predict based on your choices and the choices of millions, we already gave them the power, behind an innocent 'FREE' platform, was an elaborate agenda.Whatever you want to believe
It's not my prerogative to change whatever you want to believe. But perhaps diving a bit deeper into the topic could open your mind on just how "easy" this will be done. If not then not, your life.
Here's a hint though. For everything else you still have google. I'm out for today.

They also have an extremely high income tax rate.
We don't
There are a lot of social insurances, 49.5% is the highest. The highest is Germany is 45%

It's 49.5% on incomes above 68,507 Euros, that is a high income tax rate.
It is not only tax, also social securities, insurances. That 49,5 is not only tax

Meh. Every 100 years it's the same all over again.
Jobs change. Every time it's the same, they say the world's gonna get took over by bots.
I donno about UBI.
Maybe I could've used some free income to score some chicks when I was 16 years old and working 18 hour days.
Maybe youngsters shouldn't work as hard as I did.

They are all different types of taxes, a person making €1.000.000 a year would only have around €510.000 after taxes in the Netherlands.
