Its gonna get worse. This is start of second much worse dark age.

What makes things cheaper and more affordable, is mass production. As cars get too expensive, they'll have to manufacture fewer of them. As they manufacture fewer of them, they will get more expensive.

In the dark ages, most had nothing, but kings had castles, and horses, and feasts, slaves and whores.

This time it might be a bit different since AI can provide labour, but their problem that will still remain, is that only the rich will be consumers.

So the overall wealth of the world will go down. Most will be poor with nothing, and the wealthy will also be limited, since they can no longer take advantage of economics of scale.

But they will still be the wealthiest and most powerful, which is ultimately what they care about most.

The world will regress. The second dark age will be far worse than the first, and far more widespread.

And its all because social media allowed fascists to lie, and stupid people believed them, and those that didnt couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.

Nah. There's way too many literate people, and information is easy to access. This isn't going to be a dark age dystopia. It'll be closer to corporate owned life.
