If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?
We did in a way. Tractors help produce more goods. Those goods incur VAT at the point of sale to consumers.

They don't "help produce more goods". They "reduce the need for human labor", enabling fewer people to produce as much as before.
That's exactly what AI is doing.
