As corporations increasingly turn to automation, can we stop treating them as job creators sent by God to bless our society and economy? >

No. The only answer is to reduce wages so meat based employees can continue to be competitive with automation. 
God forbid we develop a society where technological advances benefit everyone. >

It’d be cool to get some food that no one touched. >

If this works and becomes adopted everywhere, that's a good thing no?
There are lots of jobs that existed in the past that sucked ass and we automated them, this is progress. 
The only problem with this is that the more we automate huge sectors like this, the more we need to evolve our views on capitalism and how we run society.
Who WANTS to spend their time on earth serving people at McDonald's? We only do it as a way to get money, but if our systems were set up in a way that accounted for this, then automation is amazing. >

The only people making money from a fully-automated McDonald's are the robotics company and McDonald's executives. >

Yeah I know.... that's what I'm saying. Currently people work at McDonald's to make money, but no because they WANT to be there. So if we automate it, and give people something like universal basic income, no one would work at McDonald's. >


and give people something like universal basic income

That's what you didn't include before.
I agree that UBI would make automation a good thing. Until that, though, it's only a method to make the rich even richer.
