I mentioned something similar in the past before. The machines will work for us, instead of us. And will Artificial Intelligence (AI), they will reach a point, where they will not just/only fix themselves, but also manufacture themselves without any human intervention.
But what if the machines will turn on humanity? Something like what happened in the Terminator movie series. This is a frightening, scary, terrible thing to think about, to be honest.
I give you some !PIZZA and !LUV.

Yes.
Once machines can produce everything, including obtaining the raw materials for production, and themselves, then the cost of goods drops towards the level of scarcity of the raw materials and the energy required. If these can be in plentiful supply (from the sun / asteroids) we move towards goods being free and humans not having to work.
Whether we get there without everyone creating huge robot armies (including the robots themselves) instead is another question.
