I'm hoping all jobs are taken by AI and we get UBI.

And yes, I've heard all the AI fear mongering talking points. Not interested in the AI will kill us all conversation.

And intelligent debate would be fine.

If UBI isn't implemented first then we're fucked. Companies will just use AI to cut costs and discard labor.

No; without unions putting a stop to corporations that idealistic future will never arrive. And that's pretty simple to prove. Why do corporations do the shitty stuff that they do? Because they can.

That's the real problem. UBI is often brought up in these discussions as a "maybe someday hopefully" while AI is here, now.

The longer it's delayed for UBI to be established (if it's even going to be), the more people will suffer being driven into more precarious jobs or left to misery. It's already depressing to think of artists being automated out of art to go work on amazon warehouse or something, but it's not going to stop at that. A lot of service and intellectual work could be automated just as easily, maybe even more so.

If UBI isn't already here, then opposing AI is the only sane option labor movements have.

That sounds like a dystopia waiting to happen. UBI in many countries will keep you at poverty levels, it isn't going to be a good way to live.

Can you elaborate? Any sources?
