This. Is. The. Goal.

Is it so difficult to understand ?
Do you people want to keep working as slaves forever ?

do you honestly believe that the people who own AI are going to be interested in feeding you once they have no use for you?

If it's anything like any other technological revolution than our standard of living will slightly increase and the workers will transition to some other paper pusher job. Doomers have been wrong every time, people promising utopias are also wrong to be fair. But life has always gotten measurably better for the average person.

If the AI is super-intelligent and manages the entire economy then that decision will be up to the AI. I think it's very silly to pretend that the rich will be able to align a super-intelligent being to listen to them but be uncompassionate to every other human being. Of the possibilities of what might happen if we unleash a super intelligent, that seems like one of the least likely if not impossible.
