Yes, everything points to automation of higher cognitive functions, rendering everyone but a very few geniuses and owners unemployable. The question is if the underlying economic model changes for everyone to benefit from it, or we go through a complete slumization of the whole world with a vast majority fighting for the scraps. It's also questionable if amending economic model would be beneficial to humanity, removing all challenges, as it might lead to complete hedonism and destruction of civilization in a few generations.
