I'm surprised this wasn't addressed in the interview because it seems to me like a shortsighted take.

Excel didn't leave administrative workers without jobs, it made them more productive.

the automobile didn't make horses more productive, it (almost) totally replaced them. Maybe this time, we're the horses.
