Haven't read that book, but agree that if anyone thinks the workers are likely to capture the value of this productivity shift, they haven't been paying attention to reality.
Though at the same time I also think a lot of the CEO-types (at least in the pure software world) who believe they are going to capture the value of this productivity shift are also in for a rude awakening because if AI doesn't stall out, its only a matter of time from when their engineers are replaceable to when their company doesn't need to exist at all anymore.
