Any technology is fundamentally a labor replacing tool. Isn't that the whole point of "technology"?

Society will adapt. As it always has. Most Americans no longer work on farms or factories either.

Also, demographics and other changes (in many developed countries at least) mean we really need more labor replacing tools, as there’s simply a lack of human labor supply in many areas.

Of course, if the labor replacing process is too rapid, then that could become a problem.
