Under the current economic model, being against progress is just self-preservation.
Yes, we could all benefit from AI in some glorious future that doesn’t see the AI displaced workers turned into toys for the rich, or forgotten refuse in slums.

We are ants in an anthill. Gears in a machine. Act like it. Stop thinking in classes “rich vs. poor”. When you become obsolete it’s nobody’s fault. This always comes from people who don’t understand how this world works.
Progress always comes, finds its way and you can never stop it. Like water in a river. Like entropy. Adapt early instead of desperately forcing against it.

See Woody Allen in AntZ (1998 movie)
There should be a balance. Already today’s world is desperately thrashing to “stay ahead of the curve” and putting outrageous investments into blind alleys that group-think believes is the “next big thing.”
The reality of automation could be an abundance of what we need, easily available to all, with surplus resources available for all to share and contribute to as they wish - within limits, of course.
It’s going to take some desperate forcing to get the resources distributed more widely than they currently are.
