You realize that leisure could be any kind of work you want.

The distinction is not leisure vs work. It's freedom vs. constraint.

I appreciate that, however I feel constraints give meaning to a task, you might argue that I can self impose them, I will argue that I wish those constraints to be imposed by society or by the conditions needed to advance science. To do that, eventually as AI's come online, I will have to stop being human.

So everyone should suffer, because you enjoy it?

That's not fair. The argument you seem to be advocating for is that we can make people happier by reducing scarcity, they are offering you a counter example.

'happy' is hard, it could very well be that suffering is an important part of happiness... who knows, but it's a valid line of argument.
