If most of the jobs get replaced by AI, how people will have income to spend on products which will likely be produced by AI itself? (lemmy.today)

Imagine this scenario:

All companies start producing mostly using only AI and firing people, because people have no use anymore
Joe spend most of his income on digital video games products
Joe get fired because he got replaced by AI now, since AIs are taking over most jobs
Joe has no income anymore
Joe doesn't have any more money to spend on video games
Companies have no more profit, because people don't have income, so people can't spend on their AI produced products

In this scenario both lose, the company adopting AI and the worker. Am I missing something? Is there any possibility besides Universal Basic Income to keep the system running and not collapsing?

I think it not necessarily means other projects use AI right? It's just projects that explicit stated not using it I guess? I saw FlorisBoard but no HeliBoard in that list. But I don't think HeliBoard uses AI.
