Right now you are correct that giving everyone 5k would not produce more stuff so the dollars would devalue.

The idea however is that at the same time as giving everyone 5k, AI workers would produce more than an extra 5k/head of stuff.

As an alternative having the AIs produce all the cars and houses we need but giving all the money to Sam Altman wouldn't make sense as no one would have the money to buy them apart from Sam who couldn't use them all.
