If your on-the-job experience and your personal efforts for career advancement have been your capital investment in yourself, now these can be replicated for lesser-paid workers, with the surplus going to the business owner. Take a pay cut or advance your career on the front line at McD's. Fun times!

Seems like the first jobs to be impacted will be the ones with narrow, domain specific knowledge. Like a customer support rep for a specific product line or a QA tester.

The safer jobs will be the ones where you have to collate knowledge from multiple fields. Like a product creator who needs to know a bit of marketing, code, and design to come up with a new idea.

The orchestra conductors, it seems, are safer than the pianists and cellists - for now.
