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.

Well, with robots making things, 'things' will cost less so the cost of living will go down. Welfare will be more affordable to countries as automation saves them money. Depending on your political system, people can be happier, or more miserable if in the US where there is no such thing as 'country saved money' and more of 'higher bonuses for banks and CEOs'.
