So do you think we are going to create a society where everything is taken care of robots and we are left to philosophical, artistic, and scientific pursuits or will the wealthy hord everything and tell everyone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps?

even with UBI, the issue is making sure everybody does something productive instead of just sitting on their asses Wall-E style

That's the thing. There will be no need to keep people productive. It will take a huge cultural shift for sure. A focus more on self improvement, experiencing new things, and sharing those experiences.

What's worse? Some of the population becoming super lazy or making all the population do pointless menial labor because that's what we've always done to keep production up?

There's going to be a "my robot is better than your robot" conflict.
