If so, this is superb! This is the end goal. A world in which there is no work left to be done, so we can all enjoy our lives, free from the requirement to work.
The thought that work is desirable has been hammered into our heads so hard that it's a really, really dubious proposition that actually a world where nobody has to work is the ultimate goal. Not one in which everyone works. That world sucks. That's world in which 85% of us live today.
That, and that people are so used to the case in which the only way to earn money is to work for it, that they don't think of the thousand alternatives. (The one that comes most readily to mind is living like a king off the labor of a small family business administering thousands of AI-serfs).
