I have a PhD in a niche field and this can do my job ;)
Not sure if this means I should get a more interesting job or if we are all going to be at the mercy of UBI eventually.

We're never getting UBI. See the latest interview with the Palantir CEO where he talks about white collar workers having to take more hands-on jobs that they may not feel as satisfied with. IE - tending their manors and compounds.
RIP widespread middle class. It was a good 80-year run.
An economy, and likely a society, fails if everyone is at the mercy of a UBI.
We don't really know yet, that's just speculation.
But what's the alternative? Can any economy succeed with a >50% unemployment rate?
