This article is basically a diluted version of Bob Black's The Abolition of Work[1].
I'm not sure how possible Black's vision is now because I think there's still scarcity, but it needs to be considered because it's a much better future than the one we're heading toward if we keep pretending that the capitalist work/ownership model is meritocratic. In the future, all jobs can be automated, and we're going to run into very deep issues long before even half are automated.
