From the article:

The industrial revolution saw the loss of labor-intensive jobs and the AI revolution will soon be coming for creative and analytical workers. In a utopian future, all work would be the domain of machines whether taking the form of robots or operating virtually over the internet, leaving humans to lives of leisure. The tricky part will be navigating the transitionary time.

If anyone thinks the elites are just going to let everyone live a life of leisure for free, they are insane. The AI may take everyone's jobs but you're still going to be expected to pay for food, clothing, rent, etc. There just won't be as much work to earn that money because computers can do it cheaper and better.
