What use will the wealthy and powerful have for the unproductive masses after robots can do all their work for them?
Is more likely that strong AI and robots will be used to ever more effectively control and oppress most of humanity than help or free them.

No matter how many times this is repeated, it never seems to sink in. Talk about Intelligence and Wisdom stats being way unbalanced.
To put it another way, there are ways to make money that spark more or less joy, and much of this variation is possible even for "regular folks" working "regular jobs". But most of that possibility space is yet unexplored.
Not sure whose fault that is, but I am reminded of the quote, "the opposite of courage in this country is not cowardice, it is conformity."
Most people just do what everyone else is doing (i.e. the 80% who are dissatisfied with their work) and then wonder why they are dissatisfied with their work.
