At some point from your description there will be no need for human workers at all. The real question is what happens as we continue to advance in that direction and we eliminate mathematicians, and then more broadly scientists and engineers, tech workers, and all knowledge workers. People can’t “doing what you like doing” if it doesn’t support them being able to make a living.

It sounds like it could be a pretty horrible world for the majority of people, especially if the AI overlords are only concerned about themselves (be it a small number of people who control the AIs, or the AIs themselves becoming independent entities that prioritize their own lives).
