I would be upset, but that is separate to the question posed of whether we should be trying to innovate and automate. The answer is that innovation and productivity should be sought, even though it's understandably not fun for the people whose skills are being commoditized in the moment. At no point in history was it a good idea to purposefully stop innovation just to preserve some job that was about to be automated. The cumulative impact of jobs being automated and productivity is why we have such easy lives today.

  When has the pace of automation outstripped the ability for the economy to provide near full employment? Besides. Even if true, the answer isn't to stop innovating.
