Something that sounds too good to be true, probably is too good to be true
Now that AI actively threatens to replace mostly all white collar workers, and even lots of blue-collar in the near future, lots of people seem to calm themselves with a seemingly correct thought: if we are all getting replaced, who will be consuming? Consumption will halt, and The Economy will fall apart. Therefore, we will not be replaced.
This conclusion seems sound, just like the question that led to it. At the end of the day, the economy is based on what the masses consume, and without consumption, there cannot be any economy. Or that is the implicit assumption...
