I think you're misrepresenting the situation. There's a difference between working to survive and working because it's enjoyable. For example, I can work on my mountain bike skills, or I can sit in an office and work on code. One I do because I enjoy it, and one I do to pay my bills. Computers, automation, and AI will take over the second type, but they won't take over the first type. I'd actually go so far as to say your definition of work, meaning, and purpose is insulting and harmful to a large number of people. Does anybody really derive meaning and purpose by cleaning toilets, bringing people food, or stocking shelves? Should they? I don't think so.
