Discussion: Will AI take all jobs?

I often hear this doomsday scenario: Robots with human level intelligence or abilities will be bought up by the super-rich and we will lose all of the influence we previously had in labor. Now, we won’t have the power of labor to go on strike since we can just be replaced, and will all starve.

Why this is incorrect.

These robots will first be bought by the super rich, and everyone who owns them will no longer need the poorer people, but the poor people will be left. The non-robot-owners will create their own small communities to support each other by selling food, water, and using whatever crappy cheap model robots they can get from the richer folks. Some will ascend into full self-sufficiency by virtue of these robots, but there will be a class of non-owners supporting each other by bartering until everyone is lifted by voluntary charity into self-sufficiency, or naturally acquires the materials to make it there by themselves.

TLDR: Super-rich people will never cause the lower class to starve by hoarding AI workers.
