The reason we don't have an insurrection on our hands now about wealth disparity is that while the wealth of the super wealthy has accelerated hugely so has the general living standard of the poor, if (when) the jobs go away that will no longer be the case and then you are talking about a brutal escalation into a full insurrection and while the technology and wealth will be on one side, the last 15 years in the middle east has shown what committed people with pickups and AK's can do against an on-paper massively superior opponent.
I just hope the super wealthy are smart enough to see this coming and avoid it, it would be spectacularly brutal.
It's a nice dream, but the idea of AI and robots doing dishes, picking strawberries, washing cars, cooking meals will never happen.
The best AI cannot beat a population of Mexicans who are basically the glue that holds out modern society together.
If you wanted to see how the U.S. Will completely come to a screeching halt, it would be if the rapture took place and only claimed all Mexicans.
Our entire way of life depends on them. AI will never replace them.

If something can be automated at a lower cost than paying wages it eventually will be, automation is coming (arguably has been here since the industrial revolution) and it's not stopped yet.
Watch this - and tell me whats cheaper, robots or mexican slaves.
