They wouldn't. The article suggests that the segmentation of work is somehow a "good thing", but in general it's unreliable, unpredictable (which cripples spending and stresses workers), and pays questionable average wages compared to equivalent dedicated work (TaskRabbit vs. being a maid).
It's an obviously shitty solution, but so is European-style mass unemployment without gig work or UBI. All I really meant to say was that this is a way more coherent vision than "UBI, but people will work like they do now!" or "the gig economy will be totally sufficient for low-wage workers!"
