Some people find farming, construction, housing, etc interesting. Something like cleaning toilets... the robots can have that. :)

Though, I must say that I subscribe to the notion that creating AI will very likely be the last big impact we will have on history. We will just live while AI will thrive.

Plenty of people now a days find knitting interesting, and continue to indulge in it. Despite the fact that industrialization, automation and globalization has made home knitting in developed countries utterly unable to compete at a commercial level. Same for a lot of things in the maker movement.

The people whose hobby is farming, building or something else of the sort would be quite able to keep doing that in a post-scarcity robot utopia (assuming we really get there). It would just not be something they do for commercial gain.

>We will just live while AI will thrive.

Why let them thrive uncontested? What's stopping us from using our own resources for self improvement of our mental facilities. I don't necessarily want to be a Jupiter Brain, I'd be willing to settle for a intergalactic iron man suit with brain enhancement, interfaces, or reworks.

I meant it relatively. AI will be capable of near infinite growth. Us, not so much. I guess some sort of AI-cyborg hybrid could allow us some level of enhancement, but our brains are only physically capable of so much.
