Honestly it just sounds like you're jaded after years of working meaningless tech jobs. It's not all like that. I've been working on improved early detection of cancer. Humans are totally incapable of detecting cancer that early; it's not taking automating any existing job. You can do good stuff with computers. It's not all about shovelling shit that people don't need, although all of big tech is, sadly, about that, of course.
I'm sorry that you think the enjoyable part of work is getting paid. Again, it's not all like that. A lot of people's jobs give them satisfaction from seeing jobs getting done that aren't easy. Nobody wants to be machine, we get joy from using our brains to solve problems.
The bad part about AI is it's replacing the need to think. I think everyone is going to get depressed when they've all forgotten how to think.
