I agree.
Lots of people were put ‘out of work’ when farm machinery started to become more common. Higher paid “desk jobs” are being affected today but it’s the same phenomenon.
The upside of this automation/mechanization is that the cost of goods can be kept low or made even lower, so that it takes less money to live at a higher level. The cost of a hand-made item might be prohibitive whereas its machine-made counterpart, produced 24x7 by the thousands every day, is cheap enough that almost everyone can afford it.
The same applies to food production. When a single operator can productively farm 5,000 acres, the cost of the food he produces stays low. But his farming 5,000 acres displaces 9 other farmers who used to farm 500 acres.
