How to explain "automation" of office work

I agree mostly with your points however I still say jobs will be lost in the future due to automation, that's not to say the industry will completely go away right this second but they will become severely limited.

Like you were saying productivity will rise because these machines can take over a lot of the work so instead of needing 10 truckers to do the task of moving 10 trucks you will instead see 1 remote driver overseeing those same 10 trucks which leads to the question of what happens to the other 9 operators?

This is gonna be a trend in a lot of sectors and some jobs will disappear completely such as call center jobs, waiters and hospitality, warehouse workers, cashiers, data entry, assistants, etc. All low skill jobs are on the chopping block the mid skill jobs and high skill jobs will have aspects of their jobs automated away as well.

Here's the part that I'm seeing though tech will continue to get better and less expensive and now that we have AI that can learn and teach itself it's not that far off to say that these machines will become better over time and able to perform more in the future so lets say 10% of the job can be automated and it learns more about the job so in another year now it's 20% and then 50% and so on until eventually the worker is no longer needed.
