This is really aggressively reductive. Job elimination isn't entirely about people who were sweeping up horse dung, and the new jobs aren't all comfy podcasting and influencer gigs. The job elimination can mean people who spent decades honing a craft and no longer have any realistic job opportunities at a remotely equivalent pay level, and have no path into a new career because they're now decades behind (or too old to realistically train up a new skill if they're a physical laborer). Sure, it's progress, but it's weird to imply that all the labor that's being eliminated lacks value or artistry. And the new jobs are frequently things like acting as a babysitter for an AI or sitting in a call center pressing buttons. Certainly, this is also "work", but if we're comparing it to shoveling horse manure I wouldn't necessarily consider it elevated much even if it's more comfortable.
