Thats how value works under capitalism. The moment productivity of labor tends towards infinite, the act of labor loses all its value. Unless you can establish some type of monopoly (e.g. legal) over it and charge a rent for that product, then it has no value.

Which is why capitalism becomes a fetter on the development of the productive forces that it itself creates. It poses a barrier to its own development signaling that its historic time has come to an end and that it must make way for a higher mode of social production

One that is not based on value and labor time but on use value and meeting the needs of the community of associated producers

Yeah I really think that's what we need to strive for. Not half assing it with just keeping the system as is yet letting the rich get richer, the actual workers get poorer, and demanding the things that workers produce are free.
