The shit that sucks is amplified, and the benefit is that a narrow slice of people can make money out of amplifying the shit that sucks.

Thankfully, people are paid by the value they provide and not by the enjoyment they get out of their work.
AI will make things cheaper and more abundant - at the cost of a few people not enjoying their jobs. So what.
You people don't care about human mastery or excellence at all. So what if we produce more stuff cheaper and faster? That wasn't the problem. We're making it harder for people to get rewarded for genuine effort and dedication and in exchange for alienating us from our work we get a lot of lower quality crap. It sucks!
This is the kind of argument people make about furniture vs ikea and human made watches. This is not mastery, its just hobby/art. Human excellence is in abundance, not in raw dogging the most artistic Java class.
You could've made the same argument at any time in history because all technologies do the same thing. Things will go on, mastery will remain.

What's the point, if all that "abundance" does is make our lives worse?
It doesn't make all people's lives worse. It makes those people's lives worse that think their job (now redundant) was an artistic endeavour. The rest of the world gets cheaper things at affordable prices.
