I agree that with the current economic structures a lot of us will end up worse off. Just like e.g. manufacturing workers did.
But the automation is not the problem, it's the economic structure in which increased efficiency makes a lot of people worse off.
Uh.. I'm having trouble considering this as a serious question. It's objectively going to lead to them being in a worse situation. Mostly irrelevant resume and needing to re-skill into something and start from the bottom.. out of a well paid career that many enjoy and find fulfilling
My question wasn't an ethical one. It's why are the people that are the target of this automation happy about the progress, to the point of trying to push it forward faster, cheering it on
