History has shown that this will not be the case. I remember watching an ancient black and white TV news reel clip interviewing a factory owner about automation being introduced. He said in future that automation will allow people to work 4 days per week and still allow the company to be profitable and employees happy and well paid. Of course, companies just used such innovations to turbo boost their productivity and therefore profits. Won’t be any change this time around.

Get out of here with that defeatest attitude. Labor fought hard to get a 5 day - 40 hour standard workweek, you can do so too
Because robots are better than humans.
This is the tech bro answer, but at some point there is no point to enjoy humans to do tasks anymore.
Until then automation will just increase profits roughly within legal limits.
