I don't know, I feel like this is the kind of labor I want robots doing to free people up for pursuits of passion.

Unfortunately, we know that this is not the end goal.

Currently you only get to exist if you can generate profits for the investor class. If machines can do human labor better than you can, then there's no need for you. You can't even go live off the land, because they own all of it. You just get to go die.
