Devil's advocate here. Failing sufficient encouragement to do tasks (psychological/sociological rewards as got through volunteering), most of those tasks can be automated or replaced by an alternative.

Not in a reasonable time frame. Do you really believe we could fully automate all dishwashing over the next decade?

Plausible it could be automated. No idea how much it would cost, and while electric dishwashers have been a thing for longer than I’ve been alive, there’s not enough room in my current place to install one, and a humanoid cleaning robot would also have nowhere to stow itself.

Who's going to do it until it's automated?

Who's going to pay to automate it?
