I don’t understand. The economy is not only driven by production (workers/labor), but also by consumption (people, also workers).

Let’s say AI can perform the production side without any human labor. That eliminates the workers (who are also the consumers). So, what do you get when you remove most/all consumption from the economy and are left with just AI?
