This sounds to me like a clever reframing to justify automating these jobs. It's not "we don't want to pay enough to get humans to do this". It's "nobody will do these jobs, so we built machines to do them instead".

But I also think we should own up to those negative effects instead of playing a game where we pretend not to understand how markets work.
