I view it largely like I view how we currently treat our disadvantaged. Put them into ghettos, neglect them as much as humanly possible, etc.

  I think it all depends on how this happens: > don't need to work at all For instance some people currently don't need to work. They are primary care-givers or already retired to give a few. But we don't put them into ghettos because there is a consensus that we are better with them around than them out of the way, and also they get enough revenue to survive decently (they can get gov. help for that as well) I think it would be the same if that situation spread to 95% of people, there would be a moment where people will start wondering "is my neighbour a net positive to society ?". People will have a strong incentive to do something that is useful to the group, to keep a modicum of social status. In that sense I don't see society getting worse just because work is not a thing anymore, we'll still somewhat push people to do something, but it might genuinely be useful, for once.
