Projecting anything into a future with non-human intelligences is controversial. You have made an incredibly large assumption without realizing it. Please update.
If you actually want your questions answered, then money is society's representation of utility - and I think there will probably be something like that in the future - no matter how far out you go. What you may not find further out is "people". However, I wasn't talking about any of that, really. I just meant while there are still money and people with bank accounts around.
A few levels up, you said,
My dispute is with the notion that people with bank accounts and machine intelligence will coexist for a non-trivial amount of time.
We have been building intelligent machines for many decades now. If you are talking about something that doesn't yet exist, I think you would be well advised to find another term for it.
Apologies; I assumed you were using "machine intelligence" as a synonym for AI, as wikipedia does.
Machine intelligence *is - more-or-less - a synonym for artificial intelligence.
Neither term carries the implication of human-level intelligence.
