Thing is, this has been the case for at least 200 years, dating from the Luddites. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite , "Luddites feared that the time spent learning the skills of their craft would go to waste as machines would replace their role in the industry. ... The Luddites were not afraid of technology and did not attempt to eliminate technology out of fear. Their goal was instead to gain a better bargaining position with their employers."
(As a reminder, "It is a misconception that the Luddites protested against the machinery itself in an attempt to halt the progress of technology.")
