I'm struggling to understand how you can possibly jump from "we do chores; you live life" to "our workers are subhuman".

Are you saying that only subhumans do chores?

Cold logic. The advertisement defines life as something that is not doing chores. Therefore people who do chores are not living. Whether that makes them "subhuman" does involve some interpretation, but if you call someone "not alive" you aren't exactly complementing them.
If the people you hire to do your chores are doing something other than "living life", to me that implies they aren't really human. (Since living life is sort of part of the whole human thing.)
It was either: 1) A brainfart on OP's part or 2) You're watching someone who doesn't do chores pontificate on how bad "the poor people" have it.
