> maybe some people have all the human interaction they want outside of work and don't mind "talking" to some AI as long as it gets shit done in the manner they want

This isn't about satisfying a person's need for socializing it is about satisfying society's need for well socialized people

You can prefer closed offices and still be a well socialized person

You can prefer remote work and still be a well socialized person

You can even prefer working alone and still be a well socialized person

If you are in favor of replacing all humans with machines, you are pretty much by definition an asocial person and society should reject you
