One way to look at this is to compare the basic capabilities of humans and machines. The human list remains roughly constant, but the machine list increases over time.

Actually, what's happening in automation is not what people expected. We still don't have good robot manipulation in unstructured situations. Machine learning gave us automation of "higher" functions first.

The current result is a growth in really dumb jobs, like Amazon warehouse pickers. The computers do almost all the thinking. Humans just pick up things where told to do so and put them somewhere else. Such jobs have no promotion path.

This is the "machines should think, people should work" revolution.
