> So, how will you ensure that you have some influence over the world or power, if all human labour ends?

I don't want influence or power. Don't know what your short story has to do with anything, frankly a bizarre comparison to make.

If you don't have power, somebody else gets it, and then they have that power over you.

Wish granted! You no longer have any influence or power! Zaibatsu Heavy Industries has now built a gigafactory that's taking over half of your backyard, is piping their fumes directly into your house. Your mayor's office is not responding to your calls, and their private security forces are preventing you from even going outside because it is now a high risk area.
