Automation is slowly climbing up the complexity ladder. Skeptics often point out that throughout history new jobs have opened up to replace jobs to lost to automation, but there are at least two problems with that observation. First, just because it was common in the past is no guarantee it will continue forever. Second, those who actually lose their jobs to automation often take a permanent personal economic hit, rarely getting back to the same level. The more it happens, the more take such a hit.
The large homeless population is a warning sign. In the past one could do relatively simple jobs in factories or warehouses even if they had a substance abuse problem, typically alcoholism. Now many companies only want the most alert and caffeinated, and those who can use often-changing and buggy office software well. Mom-and-pop shops are shrinking in number, being replaced by franchises and big-box shops, and the big box stores track and rank employees using ass-following software, and toss those of marginal productivity.
Automation has caught up to and passed marginal employees, and will keep climbing the complexity ladder such that all but upmost productive employees will be desired. So don't get arrogant, YOU might be next.
