If by "distribution will take care of itself" you mean to say that "the owners of AI infrastructure will continue to get rich while literally everyone else gets poorer, because they have to compete in the labor market against machines that never sleep", then I agree with you.

Stuff will be cheaper to make which means raising life quality for everyone. It always was like that and it continue to be like that as long as we don't abolish capitalism.

>>the owners of AI infrastructure will continue to get rich while literally everyone else gets poorer

This didn't happen with previous technological revolutions, isn't happening now and won't happen as long as we don't mess it up with preventing competition and access to technology.

> Stuff will be cheaper to make which means raising life quality for everyone

At the risk of repeating myself: who is going to buy it, when wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of the capital-owning elite? If human labor can't compete with AI, what value can a person exchange in the free market for goods?

> This didn't happen with previous technological revolutions,

Yes, it did [1]. Maybe you should study some history before leaping to conclusions.
