If you lay off all the humans so AI can be cheap labour for corporations then there are only three alternatives.

provide humans with a universal basic income and living wage.
kill them all.
let them loose and let them wander (more addicitons, more theft, more homelessness, more violence).

you also end up with AI buying AI from AI as there are no humans to generate or recieve the AI output.
