AI eventually drives costs of goods to just cost of electricity and materials

AI eventually drives costs of goods to just cost of electricity and materials | if we reduce everything to the cost of electricity and materials because AI and robotics are providing it eventually nanotechnology and you can have anything you want then any amount of money makes you wealthy.
