I don't think that future will come to pass, because there is no application of "AI" on the horizon that gets climate change halted by 2030. And the consequences, which are already beginning, will royally dash any hope of utopia like that in the near future. Let's call it 2130.

As to the question: work is still work. People tend a garden and are happy with what they made, despite being able to shop for vegetables in a supermarket. But being in control of your own creation has its own reward and it is appreciated by others, e.g. when you personally cook for them with what you personally grew. Or when you hand-paint something for someone, etc. Success at work is only a narrow dimension of success.
