Bleak? Assuming AI will be what this text assumes it will, there is no chance of most people continuing to live more or less normal lives where they'd be at a place where they would ever get to worry about something like this.
It's assuming there will be UBI schemes and benevolent billionaires. It's not bleak, it's fantastical.

Fantastical as in "it's pure fantasy"
The short to medium term future seems more likely to look like a bunch of hikikomori living in miserable conditions and doomscrolling online.
