Well, maybe look at how many people worked in the agricultural sector is 1900 and how many do so today.
Automation of field labour has decreased the worker count by a factor 20 or something.
Same for the mining sector.
It's not necessarily a bad thing as working in the fields or in coal mines wasn't pleasant, but pretending automation doesn't reduce employment is nonsense.
No matter how hard the work conditions are, people don't usually accept its disappearance.
Automatization reducing work can actually be a good thing, as it is the reason why we can have vacations, retirement and long studies: because the society's need for work is lower than before.

- it's a threat to the school system, undermining its ability to teach through exercises.
- it's a threat to the internet given how easily it can create tons of fake content.
- it's a threat to mental health of fragile people.
- it's a gigantic threat to a competitive economy if all the productivity gains are being grabbed by the AI editors through a monopolistic position.
The terminator threat is pure fantasy and it's just here to distract from the very real threats that are already doing harm today.
