Would this be a fair way to ask the question in more colloquial terms:
Does laziness beget laziness more so than hard work begets hard work?
I answered that the stronger bias is toward hard things having more value, but that's probably just my own bias.
On the one hand, not doing the hard thing makes it easier not to do other hard things, because fuck it, who cares, we can just make the bots do it.
On the other hand, doing the hard thing feels life-affirming, virtuous even. Even with swarms of bots working for you, there will still be hard things to do, and people should make themselves useful, generally, in order to feel good about themselves. Not doing anything hard feels blah.
