If AIs succeed in making (enough) labor worthless, then there are only a few options:
1. Universal basic income, driven by AI productivity.
2. The AIs own everything, and decide whether we get to continue to exist.
3. The few humans whose labor is not worthless (plus the rentier class) own everything, and get to decide whether we continue to exist.
Options 2 and 3 almost certainly result in literal civil war, unless the few humans and/or the AIs choose very wisely. So far, humans haven't shown a good track record of being that wise, and AIs have no track record at all. So I'm not optimistic.
