I'm not so sure. Check the job listings on any major US job listing site and see how many iambic pentameter jobs you can find.

Where do you think those jobs went, if not overseas?

I don't think they were automated away. I know that Google has been doing a lot of research into that, but that has been focused heavily on producing lyrics for rap battles (Geoffrey Hinton is known as Grandmaster BackProp in the rap community). They are years from having anything with serious commercial potential outside the hood.
