Some jobs is better than no jobs, right?

  Actually no. Zero jobs would be best, because then -everything- that people didn't do for their own sense of enjoyment would be automated.

    One outcome would be a utopia where everyone would share equally in this new prosperity. Another would be a distopia where the prosperity only went to the factory owners.

    Well, there is the theory that employed masses are too busy to cause trouble (e.g. demand more equality), and much of our society is structured around keeping the non-upper class busy, even if that means making them move dirt between holes. The distribution of wealth sort of bears this out.
