Look I essentially agree with you, but I also recognize all three as “work”. As technology floods society people do less of all three even before AI but household robotics will definitely come after cooking and childcare in an unprecedented way. Reading is perhaps a slight stretch to define as work as you and I both read for pleasure but given how sharply reading rates have dropped in the face of short form video (which to me is not work to consume), it is also clearly under threat. Many humans seem to choose shallow convenience over the expenditure of any effort for deeper rewards. Teaching children that working at something to master it is both intrinsically worthwhile and deeply rewarding is one of the main jobs of parenting as I’m sure you’ll agree. Regardless, not everyone would be contented by having only a few useful avenues left, not everyone finds satisfaction in cooking, reading or child care. In fact I’d argue that most people do not find deep satisfaction in any of these three. Nor in the handful of others that often pop up, music, art, dance, etc. Humans are varied and having 30% feel rootless and unfulfilled traditionally leads to political extremism and war.
