You're making a logical leap in "you don't need the skills, but there's someone willing to pay you for them".

Who is this person who's paying for useless skills, and doesn't that go against the definition of "need"?

Oh, I agree with you. Perhaps I phrased it poorly.

Oh, if you mean that an entire job sector will get automated away, and shareholders will keep yet more value for themselves, I definitely agree there.
