Here's the thing. This is going to happen to everyone, as in, no person will be valuable enough via the contribution of their labor to survive without subsidies.
At the level of automation we've reached in society, low-skilled labor is worth, per hour, a very small amount.
As AI and automation improve, the majority of people will have negligible economic utility. The only way around this is to let those people starve or implement UBI. There is no magical future where AI serves as a democratizing "labor enhancer" for the masses. The value-add of some random person will be 0 in nearly all cases.
We will have to decouple our implicit assumption that a person's value is tied to their potential economic value.
