Maybe. I suspect the amount of actual work to be done has dropped a lot. Surely it's worth trying a few steps in that direction.

That doesn't follow. The maximum possible human attention span will still be 24 hours a day in the future.

The current entertainment market already saturates this several hundred times over.

Creating several dozen more dwarf fortresses won't do anything since they will just take attention away from each other.

Since information can be replicated for almost nothing.

Whereas physical labor can't be replicated nearly as easily.
