Replacing human jobs with automation is not an inherently bad thing. Society is where we are today because we have robots in factories, and machines to fill bottles, and the like.

What makes automation taking jobs an issue is if there is no alternative for the people who no longer have an income source. As we roll out automation to more and more jobs, then a universal basic income is going to become inevitable.

I'm inclined to think we should roll out UBI sooner, rather than later.
