Even in a full-communism-now utopia, the idea of compensating people for their creative endeavers and labor is still going to happen, that compensation will be indistinguishable from “money” as it is currently used.
Is it that your ideal world does not use money, or you’re the only one who can get paid?
As for me, since it begs the question, I was raised on Star Trek, so I too like the idea of an ideal world where money isn’t needed. But I also have bills to pay, and I’m not ashamed to admit I would not work for free, because that would mean getting my lights and Net cut off, and losing my home. Some people do crazy things for their ideals, risking their very safety and lives. Like Greta Thunberg a month or two ago bringing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people (or rather attempting to do that; she was caught, detained, and ridiculed by the Israelis for it). Most people wouldn’t risk it though. But it’s okay to talk about it online, but in real life? We all gotta pay the bills.
So you are telling me that in your ideal world only people that excel in their field should be compensated?
While also telling that musicians should make music just for the pure joy of it and not for living?
Bear in mind that most stars had a lowly start, by replacing entry level jobs with AI you will likely destroy a lot of potential.
My ideal world does not use money.
be realistic my friend.

Oh… That would be swell. First we ought to remove greed from human nature.
So how much work are you willing to do for free?

Musicians, too.
That’s that pesky capitalism mindset at work.
