Remember when all the "burger flippers" got replaced in 2012 with the introduction of this robot?: https://www.businessinsider.com/burger-robot-could-revolutionize-fast-food-industry-2012-11

Much to the chagrin of execs, automation is not that straightforward. Then again, I bet CEOs would be more easily replaced with AI than a lot of these "no/low skill" jobs, but the AI would have to be tuned to spew even more bullshit than it is currently capable of.

No, but I do remember the advent of online ordering reducing the staff needed to answer phones and take orders at the counter at the pizza place I worked at.

And now those same restaurants don't even staff drivers anymore, they outsource to door dash (who are now getting paid less, with less protections)

Let's not pretend that technology improvements can't cause cascading changes in an industry.
