What you're describing was literally my hope when Baxter came out as a robot. Generalization of low income tasks, which would in return force governments to find a more sustainable way to manage our societies. With the idea that people cannot be hired anymore compared to a robot, because the economic incentive isn't there anymore. My hope for basic income is still there, as this would allow a shift from a system that only has economic incentive to a system that has creativity and an aspirational incentive. Basic income would provide that, because nobody needs to work just to be able to exist, and they can then focus on "what they actually really want" in life. The argument that nobody wants to work in life is a little stupid, because I think that people want to do something when they're way too bored. Whether that's just shitty prank videos or research is up to our society, and if we make it "famous" to be smart then the incentive is much higher to do research.
