It's virtually guaranteed that at some point, robots and/or AI will be capable of doing almost every human job. And then there will be a time when they can do every job better than any human.

I wonder how people will react. Will they become lazy? Depressed? Just have sex all the time? Just have sex with robots all the time?

It depends if the government introduces universal basic income or not. If they do I couldn't care less if I don't have a job. Any reason I have a job is so that I have money. I don't do it so I have some kind of fulfillment in my life because it isn't a fulfilling job.

Just have sex all the time?

I'm confused about how this one tracks. Is the AI going to make me more attractive or is it just going to lower everyone else's standards?

Like all other animals, humans evolved to be more likely to procreate. There is an argument that all of that other stuff we do is just in support of procreation. But in a way, it's also a distraction and an impediment to procreation. It just so happens that we've been unable to avoid doing that other stuff so far.

Even animals do other things though they play and socialise.

Personally if AI makes working irrelevant I'm just going to spend most of my time in Disneyland.

It'll be funny if we avoid post-scarcity because we want people to keep working for each other.
