UBI is possible. Especially with redistribution of tech wealth and other extremes of wealth.
2. Just because it is possible, doesn't mean it's good.

We got a brief glimpse of the effects of people not working during the pandemic and even now there are on-going staff shortages due to a variety of factors. We all want goods and services that people have to work in to provide.
3. Work gives us much more than just a paycheck.

We meet friends at work. Our workday gives us structure and in some cases meaning. Work gives us a reason to get up and get going each day.
4. Therefore, UBI could be good as a safety net and assurance of our basic needs being met, but some incentive to work should remain.
