According to existentialism, we create our own meaning, and it is something we all have already been doing intuitively regardless of AGI just from simply living. Hopefully there will be greater emphasis on our emotional well-being, better practice and guidance in this area because so many people suffer from an insecure self at the whims of meaning they're not creating for themselves :/

A lot of people are going to seriosuly struggle with finding meaning in thir life without work. For many peopletheir work has been the biggest source of meaning in their life. Not me though, i can't wait to ditch the absolute meaningless thing people call work.

So true because of the way many of us have confused transactional societal worth with our own personal individual self-worth.
Maybe a new emotional or spiritual Renaissance will happen, a re-connection with ourselves! I can see this happening, and I think there are some theories out there that point toward such societal growth, such as social development theory.
What separates work from purpose are whether a person chooses to accept it as their own choice.
