Pretty sure a majority of regular people don't want to go to work and would be happy to see their jobs automated away provided their material quality of life didn't go down.

Sure but literally _who_ is planning for this? Not any of the AI players, no government, no major political party anywhere. There's no incentive in our society that's set up for this to happen.

There is bullshit to try to placate the masses - but the reality of course is nearly everyone will definitely suffer material impacts to quality of life. For exactly the reasons you mention.
