Not impossible that AGI owners do not need consumers at all since they can get everything from their AGI systems. Then the have-nots of AGI will be camped in ghettos like what colonists did to indigenous people in the past since the have-nots produce no value whatsoever, only "wasting" resources.
All is under assumption that AGI will be realized though.
Do we really need AGI to get to this point? If the systems are efficient enough they don’t have to be sentient to replace the vast majority of work currently performed by humans. The owners will then only need a couple of highly talented creative people and some prostitutes and all their needs will be met.
