That has not been my experience at all. As tedious tasks are automated, the people who do those tedious tasks are no longer required.
Ultimately we are lowering the cost of our "product" but it's not to enable more people to afford it. We need to do that because less people can afford the service as is and we need to cut costs just to stay in business. It's a race to the bottom, not a race to the top.
