Machines do steal jobs - the repetitive, manual labor jobs that humans do not want. They also increase efficiency and profits for companies, leading to lower costs for consumers and investments in new industries that may not have existed before.

Ha.

I worked in Medical Imaging for a decade. I made it so that one Radiologist with my software could do the work of two Radiologists without my software.

Radiologists are highly trained, highly specialized, and earn big, big bucks.

And I was making machines that stole their jobs.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, is at danger of automation helping replace their job.
