It must be much more fascinating to imagine machines managing everyday life than to imagine the societal complications that will result. I've seen like 3-4 of these machines do it all posts and nothing to examine what people will do.

It's a bit silly to imagine everyone suddenly becoming creative and entrepreneurial - of the people I know and the people I see they are such a small minority.

What people will do? Probably finally get around all those things they really want to do but they don't have time because of their job and commute. People are generally creative and have dreams - even those who one would dismiss as dumb/lazy. It usually takes talking to them to discover it.

INB4: I don't believe people would sit all day in front of TV/Netflix - it's a kind of thing you do because after 8+ hours of working, some commute, making dinner and stuff you're really too tired to do anything else.
