    The issue with “Human jobs will be replaced” is that society still requires humans to have a paying job to survive.

    I would love a world where nobody had to do dumb labour anymore, and everyone’s needs are still met.

      Yup. Realistic result of things becoming automated is that we have several decades of social strife grappling with the fact there’s too many people for the amount of human labor actually needed, until there’s enough possibly violent unrest for the powers that be to realize "oh, maybe we shouldn’t require people to have jobs that don’t exist "
