Well, there are those who like throwing the sabo's into the machinery, so you're not guaranteed people would ignore the AI creation nature of the great game, when deciding to buy/play the great game. You're already seeing a constant "No AI here!" mindset occuring.
But at some point, AI will be creating, especially if Capitalism can see it succeed and remove the need to pay for workers. We need to think about job-protecting laws today that are just and even-handed, and not just trying to stiff-hand AI creation, as that won't work long term.

I think what we need to protect is the quality of life rather than the jobs. I wish for a 20h work week at the same QoL.
I wouldn't disagree with that. Today's reality is that you need a job to obtain a QoL (aka 'pay the bills'). If we could get to a place as a species to where three/four day work weeks were the norm, that would be fine by me.
I'm assuming that at some point in our species future we'll be in a Post-scarcity place, and jobs as we know them now won't be needed. Instead people will have 'hobbies' that they enjoy doing. That's assuming the Morlocks don't eat all the Eloi before the Post-scarcity occurs, that is.

Agreed. We're going to need laws for that though, and right now Congress only listens to Corporations, and Corporations want AI to get rid of those pesky workers that drain away their profits.
But also, you gotta understand that at some point, for some things, AI will be better than humans for particular jobs. When that happens, what then? Force-keep the human on the job, or retrain them, or just tell them "sucks to be you have a nice day" and show them the door, or something else???
This is really the beginning of a monumental time for the species, as big as the introduction of the Internet was. Better start figuring this shit out now, instead of (metaphorically) just covering our ears and yelling "LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" trying to ignore the whole thing.
