I agree, I talked about this to another guy I was not sure if it was you or somebody else.

If automation becomes 100% achievable, that even intellectual work can be abolished and research will just be an AI running permutations in a supercomputer, then obviously there is no reason to even do intellectual work then an AI could do it much more efficiently. That society would become a hedonistic utopia since we would all just throw parties and have fun for out entire lives.

If AI can't be more efficient than human thinking (since the human brain is also a computer) and we can resolve problems and abstractions better than a computer, our natural brains would be better than any artificial computer constructed, then we would just all become scientists and intellectuals. And the daily workload would just be spreaded across humanity. So instead of a few people working 14 hours a day, everyone would work only 1 hour a day for example. More brains working together while distributing the workload so that we can all have more leisure time.
