Id love to give robots my job, if all my needs were met and I could do art all day.
Of course, what it actually means is none of my needs will be met and I will be put into a private prison or an incinerator.
You will continue to labor all day for reduced pay, while the robot pretends to do art all day
Reduced pay? If the rich get their way, we're going to be chattel slaves. They hate us so much and are so disgusted with us, even the worst wage slavery is too good for us.
They'll kill off the unclean and disabled in mass exterminations, enslave us for a time while/if their ai gets good enough, and eventually when robots are good enough to replace even slaves, the rich will hunt us for sport and do coloseum games on us.
People really underestimate how fucking awful the ruling class is. They are wicked, despicable people who genuinely think anything above slavery and bowing to them is too good for us poors.
There is a word for the future you are describing: exterminism.
Sadly the world appears to be heading that way. This is the most bleak future described in one of my favorite books- Four Futures:Life After Capitalism
It's a quick read . .and highly recommended. https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/59-four-futures
They will go to the landfill to get their food.
Unless WE give the robots some rather interesting military jobs first.
