The obvious answer to the power problem will be to have the AI design massively parallel exercise bicycle/electrical generator plants that can be powered by all of the people laid off by the AI.

A literal "virtuous cycle", if you will.

Why bicycle? A bath with tubes connected directly to a human body would be much better solution ;)

Too much loss and inefficiency. An in vitro ATP fuel cell feed with glucose would be more convenient with the right enzymes… but wait… glucoses will comes from plants and their own ATP uses sunlight as fuel. Replicating that would be much more cost effective than growing plants to feed animal-based ATP. Just as with food, animal intermediaries are inefficient.
