I don't know that AI will reach the same level of quality as workers unless it reaches the same level consciousness as humans or, at the very least, as non-human animals. At which point we need to start considering the rights of the AI, which will lead to the same workers' rights arguments except the Right will claim AI should have no rights because they already do that to living humans in the present.
I've considered this as well, but machines need not be conscious to replace human labor. Maybe there is some ineffable spark of human creativity that is necessary for coding that no machine can duplicate. That doesn't mean that eventually they can't have 100 AIs working on coding with one poorly paid human at the end of the line providing that ineffable spark for $12.50/hour. Even if some human input is always required, that doesn't solve the labor displacement issues if one person can now do the work of a hundred. The steam machine wasn't conscious, but it still killed John Henry.
