You're changing the subject and now talking about a hypothetical future where you're now able to employ some kind of socialist dream where people don't have to work. There will obviously be some kind of transition period if/when automation explodes. But that doesn't mean jobs will go away. People predicted we wouldn't have to work or would have so much more free time after the industrial revolution and it didn't happen. We really don't know what the future holds.
Having too much free time is and will be bad for people psychologically. It's fun for a while but many people will get fat, lazy, and useless like a house cat that just sits around and sleeps all day. Consider what boredom will do to statistics such as infidelity, depression, suicide, alcoholism/drug use, obesity/heart disease/diabetes. Consider the divorce rate when couples are around each other far more.
People have been forced to get up in the morning and work to survive throughout the entirety of human history, as has virtually every animal organism (search for food, build shelter etc). Taking that away will have unintended consequences.
Why assume people will choose to do nothing if they don't have to work to survive as opposed to taking up hobbies, getting an education or doing jobs they actually want to do?
