You're assuming that the economy isn't driven by profit.
Of course there will be the minority of artisanal companies that accept the lovable flaws of fellow humans, but they will not be profitable, will not drive growth, and will not inherit the capital future. A market economy will sell to the highest bidder, and the buyer which has more money because it aggressively pursued the most efficient option at every opportunity will invariably be the highest bidder.
Invariably it will be recognized that the weakest link in any part of any organizations are the humans. Humans once had a monopoly on long-term strategic thinking so capital had to confer them authority and compensation, but once AI supersedes humans in these respects, then the human element will be aggressively excised from any company where human flaws put the strength and compettive advantage of that company at risk.
A robot employee never has affairs, never sleeps, never needs worker's compensation for injury, never sues the company. When trillions of dollars are on the line, eliminating risks like this is a trivial decision.
