As for nominally not having money to spend, this is the least of the problems.
Wealth is not measured in money, wealth is measured in real capital (things you own and control) and capabilities (activities you are permitted to perform).
You can rest assured that the wealthy who control the AI companies will have plenty of real wealth still, and those jobless useless people on dole will have very little.
The money does not need to flow from the impoverished dole receivers to the AI masters. This is not how modern economy works. The money (and by that I mean real goods and services) can be allocated to the AI masters directly by the government, e.g. through centralized subsidies, like it is already done today for maintaining critical infrastructure. The real deal is that YOUR ownership and permissions will be eliminated/reduced, which in real terms leaves MORE for the affluent to consume, not less.
In fact, if your useless consumption would be eliminated completely, nobody of the affluent would care, more of the cake would be left for the remaining few. They only need you as far as you can perform chores for them. If you can't, your status is a little bit like that of a rebel criminal, a nuisance which has to be "taken care of" by the system.
