If every single job you can imagine, even the future ones, can be done by machines that are vastly cheaper than humans on the minimum wage, you cannot possibly have an economy that is anything like today's.

UBI would work in a situation where no one has a job and the economy would work almost exactly the same as it does now. Everyone would be university students basically.
