Ask HN: Will humans still vote after AI takes over?

Taxpayer money has always been central to democracy, as it allows citizens to decide how public funds are used.

But if AI and robots take over most labor and taxes are no longer needed, it makes me question: will human votes still matter? Or will those who own the AI and robots become the new decision-makers a.k.a voters, since they control the resources once funded by taxes?

Without taxes or meaningful employment, people's role in governance might become irrelevant.

Is that where we are headed?
