>but what are we really supposed to do here? Continue with antiquated processes that affect an entire economy just to protect the jobs of a relatively small number of people?
that's why context is important. For Generative AI I'm not against the technology. I'm against the outright theft of content and abuse of current and future contracts for talent. Generative AI as it is still relies on the human element to be useful at all, and companies steal instead of following the 3C's. Even though I bet they'd still be profitable with the latter way. It's just greed and utter disregard for labor.
The story here wasn't clear on what was being automated here and how, though. It sounds like some sort of mechanical automation, so there's less ground to stand on. Especialyl since physical automata isn't exactly cheap to maintain to begin with (and of course, current iterations still require human assistance. If only for liability's sake).
regardless I don't really pity big industries these days. If jobs are going to be automated then you may as well get a few licks in before the inevitable.
