For the person now jobless, sure.
And an increased efficiency. Having an automated system instead of a person entering data into tables manually means data processing is done faster, serving the customer better. There's a reason humanity didn't stay with tribalism and industrialized instead.
That reason is capitalism, which sows division in favour of profit for a small number of people.
So you want us to return to pre-industrialism? I am anti-capitalist and anti-work, but that does not exempt one from having to stay with reality. My comment being downvoted just shows that this sub is apparently full of morons that only know they dislike work, but don't know the actual arguments for why.
