   TIL, there is a term for huge human job loss created by technology like AI or other such stuff.

   In economics, deskilling is the process by which skilled labor within an industry or economy is eliminated by the introduction of technologies operated by semi- or unskilled workers. This results in cost savings due to lower investment in human capital, and reduces barriers to entry, weakening the bargaining power of the human capital.

   the term is older but I learned today
