You realize their “AI” currently has real diminishing returns, and even with AI that can replaces some intellectual labor, they mostly do not have enough and consistent enough automation to… actually replace human workers, right?
They’re stupid because they think they’ve already achieved that and they most certainly have not.

Historically this kind of treatment of lower classes, especially ones that have traditionally had better quality of life, leads to civil unrest.
Just because they believe they’ll never lose power again and that they’ll successfully murder millions through their policies and that they’ll fool some of the people… Once people cannot afford food, things usually spiral out of the control of the ruling classes, however smart they think they are.
If they were smart they would realize how actually lifting up the working class benefits them, too.
