Hey over there. I’m very much grateful for the privilege of this boring job, which is not 100% of my job, but a huge part of it. Grateful because it allows me to feed a family of four. I’m sure in your Musk’esque utopia without boring work is place enough for all mankind. But please, don’t forget to draft a bridge that will bring us all over there and not just a bunch of filthy rich Silicon Valley assholes. Because that wouldn’t be a utopia. Thank you.

That is a fair assessment. I am probably parroting Musk here a little. However, your main issue is access to food and resources, not boring work. I can't see why the price of everything goes to zero if there is no cost to make it.
Because there's a finite amount of resources so almost always you'll run into scarcity?

Very well the wages might fall much quicker than the costs so for a handful it will be beneficial, for the rest not so much.

It might become way easier to start companies, as there won't be a need to nearly as many people. It might end up being more of a equalizing force in the end.
