I really disagree. The past 20 years have shown us that automation is the main driver of white collar job growth.

There are very few industries that haven't already digitized, the ones you mentioned that have human CRUD apps are relatively rare. Accounting, law, healthcare...who else? Basically nobody.

How many new companies exist now because of automation?

Sure, there are some prestige managers out there, but I think their prevalence is overstated. Most managers I know in tech companies are overworked and have no time on their schedule.
