I somewhat get the point, but I think stuff like this is very often said by very privileged people. I don't think it's a serious threat to humanity as a whole. Perhaps to some humans, but there will always be ambitious people, even in a world where most things are provided by benevolent AIs for free. There is simply so much more harm caused to actual humans today by resource insufficiency than by them having too much, that I don't think we should worry about this scenario today.
