I've heard of an economical model that suggests that this is intentional. That the current circumstances are a goal to reduce the world population and replace everyone with AI (not trying to fear monger). A few years I heard this and thought bull; however, more recent events are convincing me more and more this may very well be possible. Honestly, this enrages me at the thought people at the top 1% may very well have the insidious thought to reduce mankind to ash just so they could trade between each other with their obedient robot servants as their noble goal of making a greener planet by the most atrocious means possible.
