Maybe when all jobs get automated, people will actually look to solve their happiness problem.

  Only a very small percentage of humans on earth will get this opportunity. Others (most- by number) will be wiped out or thrown out of their life so drastically, they will just want to survive. Life in the Upper West Side, NY, will not be the same as a Bangladesh lower middle class neghborhood. A lot of jobs providing people with middle class incomes will be wiped out. The middle class will drastically shrink. That is the scenario that is the most likely.

  Funny, because it seems to me that the happiest people are those who feel like they have found their purpose, their true calling, their vocation in life. Many people who currently feel like that, or are beginning to determine that, are going to see the rug pulled out from underneath them when AI can compose symphonies and voice-act and drive trucks and design airport baggage handling systems and plan cities 100x better than any human. We'll see a lot of happy people turn into miserable little shits pretty quickly. Meanwhile the rich will no longer have any need for the poor, and since 100% of your worth as a human being derives from what job you do in service of the rich, you'll become a worthless little fucking bug for them to exterminate. Don't get me wrong: I like your vision better.
