People do stop working when it’s all provided. Anyone with simple pattern recognition has seen that happen, not everyone of course, but a lot give up. Like this pattern I noticed of people saying stuff like this pretending to be altruistic and empathetic but really are just salty they don’t have the money to lie around all day.
That’s not what UBI tests have shown us in practice.
Anecdotally, a close friend of mine made enough to retire several years ago and now he just works a job he finds fulfilling instead of the highest paying one. IMHO humans instinctively want to contribute to the tribe.

Oh look. A list of studies. No results, except the Manitoba one that demonstrated my point.
