I wish I had found this post 4 days ago :D. Great stuff, upvoted and followed. You are saying a lot of things that are constantly in my head. I am in the process of writing an article about basic income because I believe that is one solution to the growing unemployment question.
At the end of the day, a machine is still tasked with doing a certain job. There is some kind of code - some system of rules and functions that it follows and performs while humans are crazy, wild, and unpredictable (or can be if given the opportunity). Machines only produce what humans can input.
I think we will be able to live our lives more fully, traveling and following our passions while technology will keep our conveniences running smoothly. There will still be jobs that machines can never replace: cooking amazing food with love, writing thought-provoking novels or academic papers, creating original works of art, creating new machines and fixing broken ones, etc.
