With this question, and in all this thread actually, basic income is put in the framework of "what could we do with all those people"? I think that we should be open to another kind of narratives about this issue. For instance, we could change the name from "basic income" to "automation dividend". In this way we could think of it as a right to a share, in the hard work of all the past generations, that created the immense pool of infrastructure and knowledge that we enjoy nowadays. Also, we shouldn't forget that, in a few years, all 'those people' could be us.
