> productivity has anything to do with salary.

It's not complicated and it's clearly a weak strawman. Productivity (almost universally) is tied to profit via efficiency. This is known to be astronomical at scale, which is what drives automation.

> Low skill jobs and physical labor jobs actually require less and less skills as automation improves.

I'm not sure there's anything to suggest this. Regulations (primarily about safety, information containment, etc) continue to be additive. There's a certain amount of sophistication necessary just to survive in most urban areas.
