Will humans really become useless in the future?
Technocrats will seek to evolve humanity through AI and biotechnology: transhumanism.
Creative or more sophisticated jobs will require human involvement, but these people will exist as a small number of the elite class.
They will enjoy unprecedented creativity, and will make crucial decisions.
Most humans will become part of a lower caste, dominated by both computer algorithms and the new superhumans.
When has this ever happened for any technology ? Microwaves, cellphones... heck even literacy. We have become, in modern capitalist social democracies with armed and educated citizens, very good at closing the gap between expensive early adopters and distributing those advances.
You need to read more Austrian and adjacent works. A good start is
The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom
Ai and biotech both work on similar game theory as Bitcoin. For example, miners building electricity infrastruture drives second order industry demand, this in turn benefits residential customers near this.
By driving demand for biotech and A.i, consumers will also drive demand for free and open source versions.
I only write all this because i've noticed a recent change in your tone towards warranted concern, and gope you aren't losing sleep over this.

Also, ATM's did not grt rid of bankers. They created more banks with bankers. Automation free's up human labor for alternative uses.
