Maybe work won't disappear at all, it will just change. Every time we automated something, we invented whole new fields with their own companies and jobs. When AI surpasses humans in all regards, including energy costs and sourcing materials for its construction, we still have to act, to do things, we will interact with the AI to get it to do what we need. That's also work - you got to prompt it and then judge the results - are they what you wanted?

If we get the cold shoulder and can't use corporate products we would need to build our own means of production and be self reliant, that's work. But we can use lesser AIs and tech for ourselves, and we know how to do it. We just can't be separated from the means to make a living.

For now, AI can't replace any job. Programmers, writers, graphical artists, drivers - they are all still needed. AI helps here and there, but it is just a platform equally accessible to you and your competitors. You have no relative advantage today if you use AI. Just playing level. Humans are still the key for success until AI gets its act together.
