I understand where they're coming from with this, but I feel this perspective on work is exactly what needs to change. If true automation comes, society as a whole should move past the idea that one must find meaning/growth in performing economically valuable work. > 70. Since work is a “part of the meaning of life on this earth, a path to growth, human development and personal fulfillment,” “the goal should not be that technological progress increasingly replaces human work, for this would be detrimental to humanity”[132]—rather, it should promote human labor. Seen in this light, AI should assist, not replace, human judgment. Similarly, it must never degrade creativity or reduce workers to mere “cogs in a machine.” Therefore, “respect for the dignity of laborers and the importance of employment for the economic well-being of individuals, families, and societies, for job security and just wages, ought to be a high priority for the international community as these forms of technology penetrate more deeply into our workplaces.” Ideally we'd move to a post scarcity economy like in Star Trek/Culture (Ian Banks) where personal growth is achieved, yes through "work", but not the same type of 9-5 "you must work to fend for yourself" we understand today. Societal norms would need to be such that each individual would have their own vocations/hobbies with which to hone their craft and achieve growth--all without being forced to "work" in order to ensure their basic needs are met.
