Gonna add to that. I work gigs, and some of my gigs have been to write software to "reduce overhead" or if you'd prefer to call it this way; fire workers and replace them with software.You can replace entire departments with software now. Salesforce is a program that literally automates customer management and corporate sales. That would have been thousands of jobs per major company, and tens to hundreds of jobs at every company with a head office. Now it's one program, which can be replicated instantly and perfectly with only a licensing fee. Bots and algorithms are doing to automation what the digital era did for music – disconnect it from physical restrictions like maintenance or upfront cost, and allow infinite duplication. Write a bot once and you can replicate it infinitely. That's fundamentally different than any automation that's come before.
