That's very intersting! Thank you very much for sharing.
You might think about pausing to consider that you have described what economists call the lump of labor. This is the idea that there's a finite amount of work to go around, and it can only be distributed among various people or machines. Some might opine that there could be something to be gained by investigating writings and studies on this exact subject from the past century or more. Wikipedia can be a great starting point - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy
I have had a very different experience. I see the conversation you call for going on constantly. I see it among dozens of people I know personally, of many different ages and races and education levels and careers. This is enough to lead me to think that your idea is so good and so wise that it's already been adopted en masse!
