Yes, i've long said that automation/AI will lead to job losses never seen before. It's why I believe that all immigration (apart from exceptional circumstances like skill shortages) should now only be allowed on a temporary basis.
The old attitudes of people being expected to work for a living if they are capable and being expected to work for the things that they want will be swept away in favour of unconditional benefits* for those that would prefer not to work.
This will be costly enough as it is for those living here, without the added burden of immigrants coming here.
* I can see most/all benefits being scrapped in favour of a taxable universal guaranteed minimum income being paid to everyone, paid for by cuts to existing support and a tax on the use of AI/machines by employers dispensing with human labour.
