The Penultimate Truth is a really awesome book about pretty much this, except they stuck the poors underground in Tanks.

Dont you need poors for there to be rich? Even if they didnt need us to work cause some amazing AI, they need to flex it to real people right? Or will they stroke their ego with ai VTubers?

Well, people are drunk with power and have really gone crazy a long time ago. In short, in the rich areas they will be replaced by robots, and in the poor areas people will work as slaves for food.
