Yea man, people say combine harvesters will eliminate agriculture jobs, but then who will operate these combine harvesters? Obviously every single manual farm laborer will just switch to being an operator of those.
God, will we never move this discussion past this worthless argument? What value would there be in any of these automatization tools, be in in agriculture or AI, if it just made every single worker switch to being an [automatization tool] operator?
It is, but usually the meme misrepresents induced demand. While I don't like cars and we should focus on other infrastructure, adding a lane does help.
It does not reduce congestion, but it does now serve more people at this same current congestion level. And those people have come from somewhere. Sometimes from public transport, which isn't really good, but sometimes from some backwater road.
