I believe that is “normalization bias”.
We are used to the idea that tech improvements lead to new and additional opportunities. We consider that to be the normal course of events.
But it is not inevitable. It does not always have to go that way.
I think we are moving away from the phase of civilization where low skilled people had productive work to do. That may be a problem.

Perhaps, but that has always been the claim in the past. No real reason to believe ‘This time is different’. Actually, there is such a reason and that reason is to justify certain social re-distributive big government policies, ie, jobs for all, guaranteed income, etc, etc.
