You know, to make money in a gold rush, don't dig, sell shovels.

Obsolescence of human workers/employees.

Not sure you understood my point. The "Gold" that people search for when trying to push "AI" is that they have to pay less wages, because they need fewer employees. Wherever they find it, or not is irrelevant.

Automation was always heralded as a time saver, but do employees really need to work less to get the same amount of money? No, because automation is always used to give the top percentages more money for less work, not the workers or the broad public.
