Given a long enough timeframe, I think you're right. But I don't think that's a 'near future' state, but probably a 'in a few decades' state. More generally, I believe that eventually we'll reach a 'post-work society' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-work_society).
And that'll be interesting for humanity, as we derive at least some identity from the work we're doing.
Man, I wish I had your optimism. I can see us entering "post-work", but that's only because those who own the means of production no longer require us, and our resulting crises will be much lower on Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs.
Interesting indeed. Depending on the country you're in, "post work" will mean your value to the current violent, ruling regime is 0 or negative, with predictable consequences.
Luckily for the regime, the killbots are already here, AI-powered, and under their control.
When AI takes all the jobs, it better start ordering junk from Amazon, have a Costco membership, order in Tacos on Tuesday and watch Instagram reels all day on its brand new iPhone because all the jobless people won’t be able to.
