I'm sure manual lathe operators in the 1960s would scoff if you told them by 2000 their job would be done by entry level labor operating robots (CNC machines). And they would have been wrong too, just like you are now.

UBI. Those people get a check in the mail just for being alive. If they decide to find work as a programmer or machine mechanic or something similar then they get UBI plus a paycheck.
UBI by itself is basically a paycheck for doing what you love. Invent a new product. Make projects on github. Write a song. Be happy. Make other people happy.
