You’re not accounting for an increase in demand for software. The tools to automate “basically every job on earth” are on the horizon but they won’t deploy or architect themselves. Plenty of work remaining.
And there are larger jobs you are not even considering. How many people need to supervise and work on a self replicating factory or a nanoforge research facility or a city replacement effort?
There are these big huge immense things we could do that we had nothing even vaguely close to the labor or technical ability to even try. Just because humans are more efficient per hour worked doesn’t mean the work won’t scale up even faster.
