It depends on how much time it saves me and how much I make per hour generally, right?

If AI allows me to cut my time to do something in half on average or allows me to do 2x more it would be worth it to pay up to what my monthly income was before assuming my income scaled with my output.

Well probably your income will decrease slightly as your field gets automated. So you'll output twice the much for the same effort and make a bit less money.

The problem is that hasn’t been the case for 50 years

I suppose it could be if you did freelance or your own business.
