As bad as the wages might seem to someone making 1000x this, it still might be a decent salary for someone living in abject poverty and also offers the possibility that their services become more in demand as AI takes over our world which allows them to demand higher wages. Much earlier in my life I was the one to be negative on capitalism but after experiencing this process first hand I am a supporter of it. Although there are many situations where it hasn't delivered the intended benefits but in aggregate I would bet that it has.
