Admittedly, I know little of AI. However, once companies can no longer increase profit with AI, they will use it to save costs instead. This will inevitably lead to mass layoffs, not because AI will correctly determine where to maximize revenue, but because executives don't understand how how AI works, and they don't understand how their employees contribute to their revenue.
It'll also do the maximizing revenue sort of layoffs, which are also a really bad thing in a society where basic necessities are tied to employment. The execs will also fuck up a bunch in humorous ways, but that's nothing more than a comforting distraction from the real and present danger automation of this level presents to a society built around employment.
