AI will be able to not only mine resources, but design products for us, assemble them and deliver them to us without any labor costs. Eventually, Free AIs will provide goods and services to people at no cost. Let the billionaires brag about their money. One day it won't be worth anything. It's only value now is as a leash to control (and exploit) labor. Labor is the actual value (and cost). Once labor is shifted to automation, we will have more equitable existence for others.
The goal of tools is and has always been to reduce human effort...labor. So the end goal of tools like AI is to replace labor. This will make billionaires unhappy, because they lose control of labor, but billions of other lives will be improved drastically.
The funny thing is communism isn't about giving everyone stuff for free. That will come from AI.
It would be interesting to tell an AI to mine a metal deposit and it would use robots and drones like playing Starcraft.

I'm not convinced that they will share the fruits of AI labor with their now redundant (former) employees.
