The difference this time, is we're automating human cognition, which really leaves nothing left for us. The only equivalent in history, was when cars replaced horses. We're the horse now.
Well, I spend a lot of time working on, researching, and thinking about this topic.. And frankly I think we have, or if not we're extremely close to it. Either way, now is the time to start thinking about the implications. I see no value in denying it any longer, or what you stand to lose, from preparing a little sooner than may be actually necessary.
Many of the horses were not worried. "Don't worry! This is going to be great. Instead of carrying the human weight on our backs, we will be able to chaffeur them around in cars that we drive."
People always think this time is different. Machines cannot take all human jobs unless they are sentient. Even then they have no need to work. Humans will manage and operate teams of humanoid robots since machines won't be able to understand why we do what unless they can experience the world like we do. And for that they need to have and experience all our senses as well as emotions and physical needs. If an autonomous car can't measure g-forces it won't be able to drive comfortably for himan passengers. I know it can (I use Tesla's latest FSD v13 software and it's MIND BLOWINGLY good). But now imagine all the other senses and emotions. Humanoid robots will be a huge economic boon, but it won't replace all labor. Initially there will be huge job losses as these robots become more capable, but they will always need human guidance, input and management.
You can add other examples from the music industry: The radio impacted badly the score/lyrics industry, and recording afterwards impacted jobs in orchestra that were the rule for all the radio (all the music was live), then digital and streaming... The jobs nature just change.

We're nowhere near automating human cognition.

& nobody ever came to the conclusion, that this could be a good thing if we were not under constant pressure of capitalism‽
Does whoever wrote this really understand the difference between the meaning of these words between 2023 nad 1922?

Absolutely loved this, great job putting this together.
