It's an interesting idea.
If everything becomes automated, then we don't have to work, and the machines will take care of all our needs. Wealth like humanity has never seen it before.
But our economies have always been set up on expecting payment for goods. And we work to get the money to pay for the stuff. If machines do the work, we won't be getting that payment. The only source of money will be owning stock in the companies that own the machines. Or I suppose real estate. You could be a landlord.
I think humanity would have to come up with a different idea of what an economy is.
