Before spreadsheet software (Excel, etc) showed up, some people were using actual physical spreadsheets (very large pieces of paper). Spreadsheet software appeared to make that job obsolete. And indeed it did. Nobody uses the paper spreadsheets anymore. But how many people use the computer spreadsheets? Hundreds of millions? It's going to be the same with robots. Maybe actual lathes will disappear, but there will be computerized things that will perform that job, and people manning the computers. Some of the jobs will be automated (think Excel macros), but many will require human interaction and iterations.
