The problem is, since the beginning of time, all the improvements were in mechanical work, allowing humans to shift towards more intellectual work.

Now the "robots" are replacing intellectual work, and humans have no where to go.

Is that really the case? So far all the examples I've seen were closer to "change X caused people to shift to another type of job, or to a new area opened up by X". Very recently some creative work has been impacted by LLMs, but apart from that, are there real stats on the intellectual work being taken over?
