This was mostly in regards to the evil villain conspiracy theory where people running the world have private islands where technological innovation moves much faster due to endless funding and zero oversight. I know what you mean regarding the human element being required for the constant maintenance of any kind of mechanized workforce. In this scenario the humans who survive the culling would be the janitors of the robotic workforce. All of the random fluff jobs you see today that exist solely to give people something to do would be gone. In this new world order there would be a much greater emphasis on using robotics in the acquisition of raw materials, manufacturing, and logistics. AI more advanced than the chatbots we see from the public side of things would be ubiquitous with the management and maintenance of the robot workforce.
This is more of a what-if fringe conspiracy theory, along the lines of what I would have been doing if I had been one of these world controllers for the last century. Humans are volatile and dangerous components to the governing equation. If but a small fraction of them became organized and mutinied against the status quo, there is a greater chance of disrupting the power imbalance. Even with all of the measures in place to pacify and restrain humans from such a scenario, the chance is still there. With a much smaller population governed over using technology, such as described in 1984, the chance of a successful revolution are greatly diminished.
