It's one of the reasons I'm fully for UBI (just not Yang's shitty version). Tech and AI don't need to replace individual workers, they just need to lower the ceiling of expertise and increase productivity enough that one worker gets saddled with the work of multiple others. We see it after every recession where suddenly companies have found that actually they were getting by just fine without all those other workers because poor Joe Schmo and a couple of productivity suites are perfectly "capable" of picking up the slack for the rest of his missing department.
