As with all innovation making human work obsolete, it is only really a bad thing if we allow its benefits to be unevenly distributed.

So, based on any reading of history...it will be a bad thing.

So, based on the extremely high standard of living today, even if we compare to only 100 years ago, it is extremely positive.

extremely high standard of living today

which is still only true for a small proportion of the human population. If anything unevenly distributed applies more today than at anytime in human history.

Just ask the child who harvests your cocco beans but has never eaten chocolate.

Or the Child who mines lithium but will never own a smart phone, or shoes.

Etc

etc
