If half of all white-collar work was useless before AI, and AI can replace those workers, then one can logically conclude that AI is useless.

Not completely. It just means you can have an AI do the useless busywork instead of a human. Something can be economically useful but still have proponents in a firm.
A lot of the "useless work" is busywork you do being a part of an executive's empire so they can claim they managed X number of people.
How can it do that?
