There will always be work that machines cant do.

The point of life is to keep entropy forces at bay for long enough to raise the next generation. As living beings, the core point of humans is to gather enough food and build a good enough shelter to survive through the next winter.

Society will succumb to nihilism, depression and lack of meaning long before those 'infinite' amount of work will ever be tapped.
