You blame on things that are caused by employers, not ML or AI

As more jobs get automated more money comes to companies allowing them to define better conditions to current employees, so they could make everyone work 4h a day, instead of 8. Or they can increase profits

This is more or a "What happens if noone needs to work?" And "Should humans work to get the basic necessities covered?" Than a "what we do with AI?"

Exactly. Society adapted over time to changing working conditions, productivity etc.

The entire idea that a “living wage” has to come from 40ish hours of work a week is… a construct, or a social norm.

The entire idea that productivity increase has to go into value for shareholder is another construct. We could just live equally well saying that productivity increases go toward reduction of worked hours.
