> I've never been convinced that efficiency and automation would result in fewer jobs

I’m not sure I buy into the bank analogy (probably due more to technology making bank products cheaper/more accessible and thus more customers and thus more bankers) but I definitely buy this.

If you believe fundamentally in basic market dynamics and that humans are generally productive creatures, then any automation that comes about will simply shift where the human labor is most useful, and we will generally always have enough human powered work to go around. The tech and automation is just making it more efficient for everyone.
