edit: added video explaining democratic workplaces
Sadly, this will keep happening.
Corporations are: profit>humans.
Once it is cheaper to replace humans, they will.
Co-ops and unions. Democracy in the workforce is required.

It seems that the work was easy enough to be replaced. I wouldn't do a job that can be replaced by an AI in the long term.
What job do you do now?...
I am a car mechanic and can't imagine being replaced by a AI or machine any time soon.
Blue collar job are safe from this type of AI. If anything it will make diagnostics easier.
Would love the AI society that artists and authors started to imagine (in an admittedly idyllic fashion) a world where technology and AI meant that people could invest more time in personal projects, socializing, and relaxation instead of working all the time. All it will really do under our current system is leave a bunch of people who’ve been replaced with no real way to stay afloat. We’re replacing the workers, but not their support system
Agree, making harder for working class to support ourselves
No support system in the works, so more crime and violence as a result.
Union density is highest in pseudo-socialist countries like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and in pseudo-communist/ex-communist countries like China, Russia, Kazakhstan...
