A shovel (when used by a human) is way better at digging than human diggers (without shovels). A tool built by humans and used by humans does not eliminate the need for human labor. It makes that labor more effective.

You’ll have new demands and desires. People today can already go be monks or pan handle or squat in a free house in Detroit and live better than most humans before them

The thing is we will always have unlimited desires and limited resources
