What do we do when AI replaces everybody?

So, before I say anything please get off your high horse. AI is an insanely intelligent machine and eventually it will replace majority of jobs. Even people who went to college and got good degrees are still going to be replaced. That's the most scariest part. Even people with bachelor degrees are going to be replaced.

But once we get to a point where AI can replace most of all of human jobs what are we going to do?

Technology has increased the amount of leisure time people have by making things more efficient and increases profits, AI is just an extension of that. Jobs have always been lost to many technological innovations.

What should happen, in the perfect world run by AI, is the average person's leisure time will increase, and the profits made by not hiring people would be directed into the community bc people wouldn't be working anymore.

@deadgerbil the government is not going to want a bunch of lazy people living off the system/ people affected by AI aren't going to be assisted.

@Woofwoof15 if AI takes over the vast majority of jobs, people who can't get a job wouldn't be lazy.

The gov will have to strike a balance if it doesn't want people living off of the system, but people living off of the system is the only realistic option. All the work is being done by AI and people in charge of the gov and big business should nip their own greed in the bud and give away all the profits they make to the community, given that money is no longer going into the community from people working and there would literally be no option to work
