If you provide people with that they typically shut up and stay out of the way. Everyone should be more afraid of the former than the latter.
But I am extremely skeptical that current "AI" will be capable of eliminating so much of the modern workforce any time soon if ever. I can see it becoming a common place tool, maybe it already has, but not as a human replacement.
If 80% of US citizens lose their jobs, I assure you that there will be a political response. It might not be one you (or I) like, but it will happen and it will be a big deal.
In societies where 80% of people are not able to draw an income and there are more firearms than there are people allowed to own them, that political response is revolution.
It's gonna be a wild ride.
That being said, I'm not convinced LLM based workflows will be transformative, at least over the short term (3-5 years). It took a long time for the whole of society to end up on the Internet and I'd expect around the same speed for AI/LLM approaches (even in the best case scenario).
