One thought is that, say, in semi-utopian world robots do infrastructure, farms, mining and even building houses. In that world, basic necessities will become much more cheaper and it might be even possible to institute universal basic income. In fact, I think this is the only few scenarios where UBI can actually become practical without causing inflation. Second point is our economy is slowly but steadily drifting away from these basic necessity jobs to entertainment, entrepreneurship, online services and finance. With UBI in hand, it might be more easier to pursue these high paying jobs. About 100 years down the line, we should expect people to work on more full filling jobs than bagging the grocery, assembling phones or bringing cooked dishes to people.
