The other way around maybe?

They think the employers are going to line up to pay billions for AI workers in order to avoid paying trillions in benefits to human ones?

And who will buy the products and serivces of these "employers" when nobody has a job?

See you can keep adding middle layers, but eventually you'll find there's no one with any money at the bottom of this pyramid to prop this whole thing up.

When the consumer driven economy has no critical mass of consumers, the whole model kinda goes belly up, no?

Perhaps a feudal economy where it is just the wealthy who consume. The rest of humanity is pure subsistence.
Who buys the products then?
Who will be the customers for those employers?
