It’s an issue of: are you here to take from the world or contribute to it?
If a robot is able to do what you’re currently doing just as well, then great, you can work on higher level stuff and we can all contribute more to society.
It’s always been the same fear with all tech revolutions: people thinking there won’t be any work left to do, afraid they won’t find a way to sustain themselves. When work is replaced, there is always new one to do, and it usually simply represents an upscaling of global GDP. It’s a good thing. We are facing massive global challenges and could use greater efficiency and expression of our collective intelligence to address them.
As long as you stay willing to learn, you will always discover ways to contribute to society and be relevant. But if you’re attached to “I learned X and I hope it gives me bread for the rest of my life,” you probably chose the wrong century :-)
