To be quite blunt, my assumption is that when/if AI can fully replace everyone like me, then society will have either collapsed or advanced to the point where unemployment is not a death sentence.

At that point, the economy cannot be sustained by armies of home carpenters and bicycle repair artisans. The money will all drain away to whichever gigacorp now literally owns all the AI workers. Society either fails and most of us die, or it evolves and (most) everyone lives.

Bleak take, yeah, but it's a pretty fucking bleak scenario.
