Someone has to make the money, isn't that kind of the point?
If the money holders no longer need plebs for anything because AIs can do it all, what role do the plebs play? Why give them any of the money, and therefore what value has money?

I can see a version of history where the end of capitalism was AI and the AI-owning class with their robots and capital essentially dispose of the majority of the society. Society decides this system is screwed and decides to overthrow capitalism and we invent a new system.
