This seems like a fairly obvious conclusion. With few exceptions, the highest paid jobs require the highest cognitive abilities. As robots replace cognitively demanding jobs, then instead of splitting the "cost" of labor with the laborer, the owner of the equipment will simply pay for the cost of a robot and keep the rest.
This is the more immediate threat of AI. And there's no obvious way to avoid it because any responsible business owner will always replace a more expensive, lower performing unit with a cheaper, higher performing one.
There may be plenty of jobs but they will increasingly bifurcate between lots of low paying ones and fewer high paying ones.
