I don't think the end goal is to make humans to work less. We know that the reason is there is much productivity with just the use of technology than with human effort so for companies who prefer to the use of technologies over human work they just want more profit and pay less. If they'll be spending less with machines than paying every individual that works with less produce, it would be for the company's advantage to acquire a more advance method through the use of technology and produce more, profit more and pay less.
