The problem is, those people need to have jobs.

  Even moving them to quality control or edge case handling is a win. No one is going to miss box packing.

    It's only a win if they don't get laid off or have their paychecks cut. And I'm pretty sure that the people who do it for their job, if they aren't able to find another one, would miss it. Automation can be good, but we can't forget that these are actual people, with rent payments, food bills, and possibly families, that are currently doing these jobs. Blindly following the "Automation is great" mantra, while forgetting about them, is going to be disastrous.
