The claim of the AI true-believers is that this time it will be different because of the "general" nature of it.
Fire can't build a house.
The wheel can't grow crops.
Writing can't set a broken bone.
Double entry bookkeeping can't write a novel.
If you believe that this AI+robotics wave will be able to do anything a human can do with fewer complaints, what would the humans move on to?
Fighting the clankers, of course.
Perhaps you meant writing bad futuristic science fiction on HN rather than building something.
I think it's a foregone conclusion that the clankers are the only ones building something in OP's scenario, leaving nothing left for us meatbags to do but fight the battery bloods and write bad science fiction.
