This. Automation doesn’t improve the lives of the workers. It improves the wealth of the owners.
I hate to tell you this but that’s not how it works. The people who used to paint cars as they come off the production line aren’t creating interesting patterns for automation to paint on a car. There are just no production car painters anymore. Automating a job away doesn’t free the human up to actualize their life goals, it eliminates their income and makes their lives more precarious.
