My point was that not all technological breakthroughs disrupt equally. Someone that was a carriage driver could adapt to the invention of cars and become a taxi driver. A self-driving car completely removes the driver from his profession.
A secretary can go from using a typewriter to using a computer. An AI chatbot completely removes the secretary from the equation.
And sure, these people can go and find some other job, but finding a new profession is more disruptive than learning how to integrate a new tool into your profession.
We are not passive bystanders. We are the main character and should prioritize societal well-being over higher GDP even if it means goods and services will be a little more expensive. Faster and cheaper comes at a cost.
This is a tangential point to the UBI discussion, but still relevant IMO.
