Nice analogy! I saw an estimate recently on the cost of programming and they predicted that automated coding will cost 10,000 times less than human coders. It was all back of the envelope and questionable but still it was food for thought. Will we be 10,000 times more productive or will we be out of work? I think a lot of people will be out of work.

It can be both. Automation of farming means we've gone from a constant risk of starvation to an epidemic of obesity, while simultaneously reducing the percentage of the workforce in agriculture.
