AI is supposed to take over all computational and system management jobs.

Power grids, shipping, traffic, communication, stock and bond markets, banking, and so on.
Automated, satellite controlled machines doing agriculture, mining, energy production, etc.

No need for managers, IT specialists, salesforces, producers of entertainment - no middle class jobs, no industrial jobs, no retail jobs.

With no one able to buy the products created by the automated factories because there are no more jobs, there is no transfer of wealth, no profits, no return on investment, no one to pay the electric bill.

Poof!
