I think the main thing is that we aren't good at distributing the gains of this increased productivity, nor are we good at training people with the skills necessary to maintain the productivity.
The result is that the few people who do meaningfully contribute are tremendously overworked. They may make a lot of money but have no time to enjoy it, since they feel like they can never take a vacation or the whole thing will come tumbling down. Meanwhile, the rest of society is either languishing in poverty and unemployment or have to take soul-crushing, make-work jobs in order to justify someone giving them a paycheck.
