They lose their ok paying jobs and are forced into minimum wage jobs because Ai automated away their job. There is already massive inflation and regular people are struggling. This is why some people spout on about minimum basic income but the reality is that our politicians are too captured by business and special interests to implement the needed taxation to implement a program like that.
