One of the problems is that powerful people are predicting widespread, permanent unemployment and proposing basic income as a solution to this. Then the same article that says this has glowing, warm stories about how basic income can supplement your underpaid job and says not one word about how dreadful it will be to live in a world where you have to get by on basic income, possibly forever after, with little or no hope of supplementing it with an earned income.

That's a pretty grim picture that no one seems to be acknowledging.
