I honestly believe there will be a shift in the "workforce" in the coming years and most who got laid off will try something on their own. There are some "offline" jobs and business who would potentially get more mainstream.
Honestly, I've always hated jobs and resented the idea that I had to spend most of my time every day of my life doing work for someone else just so I could afford to have one or two days per week of 'free time'. I retired before the whole AI thing took hold so I never got replaced or even had a single discussion about AI at work. I was a software engineer and probably wouldn't even recognize the role as it looks today.
All this to say that I hope AI takes all of the jobs and frees everyone from the horrible monotony of work-life. I'm not pushing for UBI either, rather, I lean toward UBLMTFA (Universal Basic Leave Me The Fuck Alone).
On a side note, I am deep in the AI world now, run my own local models, build my own harnesses, and "write" more code now than I ever did in my career. Turns out I actually love being a software engineer when the stuff I build is for me.

I farmed freelance profiles and rented them out using a forwarding app.

i left the job before loosing the job, hence i never lost even if wanted.
