Life is ever changing and man has always adapted and made it work. Same applies even now! Life will go on and each person will work and study play as they can afford to with whatever desire and energy they put into their lives. There have always been and always will be people who work hard and people who are not motivated. For me it is about love even for the better or lesser with or without AI.

If we could see that work was for self development then I think that people would want to work.
Some of the problems with welfare are
1. we begrudge those who sponge on the system.
2. it creates poverty traps so that the working poor are worse off than those on welfare.
3. poverty traps punish people for working while on welfare giving them the idea that it is no use trying to get off welfare.
In the future there may not be enough full time jobs to go around but with the plan I propose hopefully people could choose a job that didn’t pay money and live off the guaranteed minimum income.
But for that to work, somehow, we would have to change our worldview that work was to earn income and instead see work as self actualization.

As a former teacher of unemployed adults, I think this might be far from ideal for the ones who have no interest in working to contribute something to society. Self is all they are concerned about. They are the ones who only attend classes because they don’t want to work, but they don’t want their welfare payments cut. Maybe you have a solution to this problem?
