SUFFER

Replacing one slave system with an even worse one. Imagine the oppressive regime of North Korea but with super advanced technology. Millions of people forced to work in labor camps to create products that the State's computer algorithms decide that are in demand or needed. Only the ruling class could enjoy all luxuries while the common proletariat are restricted to common products and services. Lack of competition means no incentive for quality or innovation. Businesses can only be started, expanded, or closed if gov't approves. Gov't has right to confiscate all property and businesses at anytime for "the greater good". All major transactions need to be approved by the state. State's computer decide certain people are "unnecessary" and orders a culling. Advanced knowledge is kept secret from general populace because it's "redundant" for them to know except for a special group.
