OP's statement is more precisely framed that jobs are on-net removed, not that jobs are only removed, which is a little harder to argue against. But not much.

But not much. What I think would be an economically sound case is an argument that Ricardian comparative advantage breaks down at the extremes. A robot that can do everything twice as good as you will still benefit from trade; a robot that can do everything a thousand times as good as you might just view you as atoms it could use better in a different configuration.
