Putting aside all else, when we don't do it ourselves we don't have that sense of satisfaction at having struggled and done it ourselves. So what's the point?
Yes, as @jhymi also says above. There's a joy in creation - if we hand this all over to AI, we sacrifice the satisfaction we feel after nutting through a problem. I've thought a lot about the peace we get out in the bush when we are constantlyproblem solving: getting water from the creek to boil for a shower, where to get wood, lighting a fire, making the food we have last the week, and so on and so forth. The joy of making a meal. Fixing a bike. All that stuff matters, and we're losing those skills at a steady rate. It's definitely dystopian for me to consider a world where all my needs are met. Do nothing and be happy doesn't compute for me, and I can't imagine this is what anyone really wants. There's only so long we 'relax' without the human need to create.
But for the people who have looked inward and realized the joy to be gained by struggling to do it ourselves, they will still attempt the work.
Yes. I look at young people going back to old world skills - carpentry, woodworking, film photography. They find value in it in a world that's automated, easy. I hope, like you, there will be a critical mass of people who do this - not because they're luddites in the basic sense (anti tech, rather than fighting for the rights of people to earn a living) but because they recognise that creating in this way - because it is 'good' is a necessary part of being human.
