I think in the near term you take someone's job. But soon, even for that person, their work will be re-allocated to something that's not automated. Human desire is not just increased consumption; it's exploration, invention, entertainment, etc. People will never stop wanting to do new things and start companies that require manual work.
However, I do think a basic annual income will eventually be introduced as the owners of the automation technology amass endless wealth.
