The OP pic I think touches on this, albeit unintentionally; the implication is that the annoying parts of existence are fine to automate, but the cool parts shouldn’t be, and that the annoying parts are icky manual labor and that the cool parts are expressing yourself.

There is a certainly an undercurrent of this; labour aristocratic mores.
