If this is accurate, the people replaced by robots could find other jobs that robots cannot do as well, and we would all be better off. In the real world though, most of those people will be on welfare, despite the fact that being parasites would be far more harmful to them than real work. Even bringing back Civilian Conservation Corps would be much better. If you have people too unmotivated to find a real job, create a government job moving dirt from one place to another, or picking up trash, rather than just sending them a welfare check.

This is the equivalent of yelling at the sun telling it not to rise in the east anymore. Throughout all of human history, people, especially men, have been better off with work, than without work, for both personal and practical reasons. Whether we like it or not, we are going to have to adjust to a world in which this is not realistic, and where people are going to have to find purpose and value in life outside of their "labor". It won't be painless, but you cannot think that having 49.5% of the population digging ditches, and 49.5% filling them in again, is either plausible or desirable.
