A lot of 'jobs' are just repetitive unschooled work. Hardly something you indefinitely need a human for.


On a long enough scale all jobs are.


True, but not the scale of a current human lifetime. Mostly because humans are not good with change (which is ironic because humans change everything around them).

At the same time, at some point if all 'jobs' are no longer needed that would either mean humanity no longer exists or that scarcity no longer exists. In all other cases we'd still have some weird mix of what we have today and what we may have in the future.
