I don't think you're wrong either, but at the same time it's not feasible for everyone to be their own agent and it's not feasible to say employers can't use AI.

I don't know what the solution is, but I'm prepping for a sudden career change in the next few years.

In general, progressive taxation can do quite a lot to ease the widening wealth gap. One such strategy is the robot tax. There exist other, perhaps better, legislative solutions, but more broadly we need to restore voting rights and diminish the influence the wealthy have on our political system so that smart, progressive legislation doesn't have to fight tooth and nail against lobbying and other mechanisms that tie wealth to political influence.
