We should all strive to automate what we can in a safe manner.

This is a silly take.

I could probably automate hugging my children, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to.

We should try to build a world where people get to live with as much safety, dignity, meaning, and reward as we can. We should build a world where if people were given the choice between it and some other world with different parameters, they would choose the former.

Automation is a piece of that, but absolutely not an end goal. Often people are happiest when doing things that are not automated.
