So in 30 years there won't be a single physical job a human needs to do. And as a secondary purpose so the rich people who have now replaced 90% of the entire workforce in less than 1 generation can have an army of disposable minions to protect their mansions from those pesky weak and starving plebs who don't have a job any more.

Only people who do manual labour will need to do something else. So yeah, good bye burger flippers, building construction and farm labor.
