alt Hacker NewsI'm not excited about a future where the division of labor is something like: AI does all of the interesting stuff and the humans clean the toilets. Especially now that I'm older and my joints won't tolerate it.

Don't be ridiculous, AI will create robots that do all the work and the only use for humans will be as amusement for the rich who own everything. Probably not sarcasm, I don't even know.
It's not that AI is intrinsically better at software engineering, writing, or art than it is at learning how to clean toilets. It's not. The real issue is that cleaning toilets using humans is cheap.
That, sadly, is the incentive driving the current wave of AI innovation. Your job will be automated long before your household chores are.
