You have that backwards. We have a non-working AI and have decided to get rid of 80% of the world population starting with the educated and productive but aging workforce.
We will replace everything that subsequently breaks with entry level human positions until the entry level AI/robots are ready to break everything again.
In 20years or less there won’t be anyone left who actually knows how to do anything and is more educated than needed to follow constant verbal instructions from the AI controllers.
People with no education or whom the educational system can’t or won’t accommodate will work manual labor jobs not suitable for robots.

So pretty much what has already been happening for the last 150 or so years.
I think you are right that AI is just an excuse to get rid of labor. The truth is they want all the money without paying anyone because they are just greedy fucks. This is the perfect excuse.
Uhh, laid people off because “AI”. The truth is they are just going to experiment with how many people they can lay off. Once again, can’t blame the person laying everyone off because everyone knows it is all imaginary AI’s fault.

The last few rounds of layoffs that have been blamed on AI is just a correction from over hiring during Covid and the recovery.
Also undoing work from home at the same time because commercial realestate markets underpin a lot of business loans that are otherwise underwater.
