    The #1 argument against any sort of automation is that it replaced workers and concentrates wealth for the few; increasing wealth inequality.

    If we lived in a society with strong safeguards, redistribution of wealth, and economic mobility, most of the people who currently oppose automation would not.

    I say this as someone who automates jobs.
