We humans are now so god-like in power, intelligence, technology and ability that it is likely that AI will soon engineer or manufacture robots that are fully conscious, thinking machines. They then posses souls (whatever that means), and are a new race of intelligent, fellow beings, that will enjoy full human rights, etc.
With that in mind, humans must continue to work with their hands and their backs, as well as their heads, hearts and imaginations. To work is to be alive, and as accomplished individuators, we will be able to compete with smart robots, and we should still do physical labor, farm, do the trades, run factories and engage in heavy industry. These efforts keep us alive, in-the-world, relevant and realistic.
