Pretty much. Put the following hypothetical scenario to your detractors. Let's suppose for the sake of arguement that the way that wealth is concentrated now/status quo is justified and required:

If a bunch of AIs can mimic the wealth concentration behaviors of the top one percent, could you fire the one percent? The AIs would keep the wealth, as no actual human would be required to be the hoarder. The top one percent can then have their economic outlook capped like the rest of us, while the AIs keep the wealth as per usual.

Would there be anything fundamentally wrong with that arrangement, given that the wealth concentration is a requirement?

interesting but the detractors are really just doing the bs you can't say anything because your not a recognized expert. As if economics were physics and even then einstein was not a physicist till he was (I am in no way suggesting im einstein or einstein like. Just point out he had things right (albeit not completely worked out) before he was a recognized expert).
