For an AI to be capable of doing 99.9% of human jobs, it's going to need to be as capable of critical thinking and decision making and dexterity as a human. Why do you think such a being would be willing to work for free (or at least for much cheaper than a human)? You're making the pretty big assumption that it's possible to make an AI that's equal to a human in every way but completely subservient, why are you so sure that's possible?

You don’t need to make robots that are equivalent to humans. What’s important is that robots can equal and surpass the relevant economic outputs of humans. That is, it doesn’t matter that a self driving car doesn’t have a personality. By the way this is also why GDP (and gdp/capita) is a terrible measurement for a society. You can double GDP growth by firing your factory workers and replacing them with faster machines, but that doesn’t necessarily benefit those workers. And all of the gains can go to the top.
