Automation is great in any industry which you no longer feel any urge to develop. Without human participation at some level...
...it's difficult to notice little changes and improvements that can be made, or to be inspired by one kind of work to develop another
what about every other instance of industrial automation up until now? someone's got to design the machines!
yes, once something is automated the capacity for further innovation shifts to innovating the machines
which is all well and good when this displaces a task which is about as difficult as mechanical engineering, but bad news when it's easy...
...because in that case you're reducing the pool of people who can find work where they're able to tinker productively
I should add that there are manual labor jobs which are *effectively* automated; jobs where the ppl doing them can't experiment w methods
of doing the same work differently, or using similar processes to create different products
automation can increase the number of jobs, but they require less skill and draw from a larger pool of labour. people acting as machines
