On a brighter note, wouldn't that in effect destroy jobs that have little human-added value?
Leaving us with creative jobs and UBI?

Changing your political regime gives you UBI. That's literally the only way to get UBI. It's not gonna happen magically by itself.

I guess at the pleasant end of the spectrum we end up with something like the Culture - where meat-based citizens are treated with indulgent care by the god-like AIs leaving us to do the only thing we'd be uniquely good at: having fun.
At the other end of spectrum we are either deemed irrelevant, a nuisance or abused for eternity in the simulation spaces of evil AIs (see "A Colder War" by Stross or indeed works by Banks and Vinge that describe particularly unpleasant possibilities).
