What about people who are lazy? I'm curious about how society will look for people who don't desire to do anything.

If we do achieve automation utopia in the future, people will have more energy to pursue what they actually want, instead of what society needs them to do. Less burnouts, stress etc.

See people who achieve financial independence (no not the oligarchs they would still chase political power), they might stop doing things right after, but they usually pursue something that brings them joy, like opening their own café, farming as a hobby etc.

There's a good video on why people would want to work under socialism and I think it applies here.

Second Thought: Why Would Anyone Work Under Socialism?

People don't really want to do nothing. If you think about it, if you sat at home all day an moderated Reddit, you're still contributing to society.
