Why do people argue that when all things become automated, we shall live in a post scarcity society that needs not any human work?

First how does full automation remove the limited resources that earth itself has?

Second how does full automation step into the place of replacing specialist careers and careers that take intellect?

Even if you automated everything there would still be limited resources and there would still be products to be bought and sold and there would still many careers and jobs that require actual mental work.

Can someone explain how I am wrong and how full automation actually somehow makes us into a post-scarcity society without capitalism?
