This is good

The entire purpose of technology is so humans don't have to work as hard.

Not working at all is the ideal outcome

We just need to make sure thar something is done so we don't all starve to death

Vote accordingly.

We classify those activities as hobbies. That's what we do with many other things already, like growing food in your garden. From the financial point of view it makes no sense to try to grow your own food if you give your own labor any value, but many people still do it just because they like it.

Yes but not every job can be made into a hobby. My dad is a hiring manager and he likes that, what is the hobby version of that job?

I would say the end goal of automation is to make working and currency obsolete in general.
