In the soviet union, workers from all walks of life were given the opportunity to engage in theatre, sports, music, opera, relaxation (ex - spas and public baths) for free and in a physically accessible manner (so your factory might have had its own theatre club).

And that was with technology a 100 years old (yes, these activities were started during the early soviet union).

You don't need AI or slavery to allow people to have the opportunity to live creatively fulfilling lives.

That's not to mention that many jobs themselves would be creatively fulfilling if you removed the ghoulish aspects of capital.
