This same argument can be used against any advancement of technology that puts any person out of work. It completely disregards the benefits that come from those technological advancements for other people. Should we have rejected the development of electrical lighting to protect the jobs of the lamplighters?

The solution to this is not to suppress the development of new technologies. It's to try to build a society where "having a job" is not a prerequisite for food, shelter and security.
