I fear you are right. But neither of those is going to be an easy transition, if only because the effects of all this innovation is felt disproportionally by people in countries where such a revolution will not do anything to give solace.
Basic income assumes that the funds to do this are available and revolution assumes that the powers that be are the parties that are in the way of a more equitable division of the spoils. Neither of those are necessarily true for all locations affected.
