Um... That doesn't preclude that it will be done by humans. I know Sci-Fi likes to show humans controlling star ships like Star Trek and Star Wars, but in reality the human race will have been replaced mostly by machines or be so genetically modified they have so little in common with their human ancestors that it is a stretch to call them even human.

See natural humans are somewhat limited in the respect they slowly update over the course of thousands of years. Machine AI is leaping in jumps and bounds in our lifetime.

The reason normal humans will be out of job for things to do is because even if they work for free the machines will be faster, make less mistakes, and generally be much more efficient.

That doesn't preclude that by 2050 we won't be installing hardware of bioware into our brains to make us smart as machines... But for the average joe who doesn't want to do that, can't afford that, or is just genetically incompatible, there won't be much work for them to do unless the government wants to pay them monies to dig holes with shovels only to refill them the next day.

Really, automation won't put everyone out of work in the short term, it will just put enough people out of work that its a problem.
