Right but I think a lot of these use cases aren't replacing any jobs because it wasn't anyones job. It's just a little polish on existing work (did spell correction in Word kill jobs?) or the stuff that voice assistants have been promising for 10 years.

Both of those things both were and are jobs. They're called secretaries and travel agents.

Together that's about four million American jobs so I'd disagree those jobs have "already been killed".
