Previous tech has replaced drudgery and allowed humans to focus on or move onto doing something else. Typically something requiring more creativity or intelligence.

What new things will humans do in the face of automated intelligence and creativity?

Things requiring less intelligence and creativity - since Bill Gates' reassurance was "but we'll still need carers" maybe we'll just watch ourselves die out for a few generations

The burger-G scenario, then: https://marshallbrain.com/manna1

Though ignore the 'upload nirvana' scenario, which is perhaps even more scary, given what we now know about big tech, capitalism, government control, etc. Yep, we really could give criminals 2000-year sentences to purgatory, if we uploaded them.
