"if a robot can do a job more cheaply than a human, then whatever that robot produces is then cheaper for everyone else to buy!"
Why do I give a shit that some rich bastard can now buy a cheaper Kia when I'm on the street cause I can't pay rent?
"If most of the economy were efficiently automated, then you would barely need an income to survive or thrive."
Really? If most of the economy were automated, what are the rest of us going to do for income?
"It does suck if your job is automated out, but the overall good to society can't be denied."
Neither can the overall negatives to society. The utopian dream of everyone having time for their own pursuits is awesome, and I hope it happens. But, there is also the long period in between where people are still required to have jobs and income to survive, yet there are extremely few jobs available.
