    Robots and AIs can start handling more

    becoming less involved in how our world functions only serves to empower The Matrix, and make us more like slaves

      Are retirees really like slaves?

      The AIs and robots will be doing our bidding, not the other way around.

          Robots and AIs can start handling more and more of the work

          Emphasis added. I was presenting it as one option for how “something is going to need to change eventually.”

          There are plenty of other options. Including, if you like, having robot overlords enslaving humanity to work in silicon mines for some reason. But I like this option more and I find it perfectly plausible.
