People have been worried about the necessity for labor being automated away for centuries. Do you really think that this time it's different?
I'm always pretty skeptical of that kind of argument, though in this case I do have some uncertainty.
Just like the kind of machine that wove cloth isn't the same kind of machine that forms plywood.
Just like the kind of software that checks my taxes won't be the same as the code that reads my MRI looking for cancer.
I'm not sure if the difference you describe fully explains what we might see.
