This isn’t how anything works dude. Automation doesn’t mean less work it means each individual can be more productive. We’ve been automating jobs for centuries, your dream of doing nothing is just an infantile dream that we all have to get over at some point.

Automation means less work for any given value produced, which means greater quality of life across the board unless this increased productivity is offset in its broad effects by increased capture of value by narrowly concentrated capital.
Which makes it kind of suck if you have an economic system that is so centered around maximizing the concentration of capital and the extraction of value by that class that it is named for it, but the problem there isn’t automation.
