Dollar is agreement between humans to exchange services and goods. You wouldn't use USD to trade with aliens, unless they agreed to it. Aliens agreeing to USD would mean we have something to offer to them.

In the event of mass unemployment level AI, cash stops being the agreement between humans. At first, cash value of services&goods converge to zero, only things that hold some value are what AI/AI companies care about. People would surely sell their land for 1M$ if a humanoid servant costs 100 dollars. Or pass a legislation to let OpenAI build 400GW data center in exchange for 100$ monthly UBI on top of your 50$ you got from a previous 20GW data center permit.
