You can't have exploitation when you replace the need to exploit people with intelligent tools who are a million times more efficient.
Also, the point about there being more people today because the world before couldn't handle billions is a good one, but it's less of a byproduct of industrialization and more about the fact that the average life expectancy for people has jumped wayyyyyyyyyyy up due to advances in the medical world over the last century or two.

That is such an egocentric thing to say. Many people don't have the advantages to be able to use their creativity and skills in their favour. If you have access to a job you don't hate you're lucky. You seem to be dismissing how much the odds can be stacked against people from birth in order to be able to pat yourself on the back.
Also, your solution is limited: robots would be a part of the solution but we'd need reform alongside, otherwise it'd mainly benefit the rich and the problems would remain.
