Real feudalism formed over the course of centuries, and had responsibilities in both directions. Monty Python's "I didn't vote for a king" segment is a lot closer to historical reality than people think. Trying to put a large portion of your population out of work over the course of only a few years will absolutely result in riots; industrialization happened over the course of two hundred years and there was no shortage of violence from people who are now obsolete and need to learn how to factory or whatever.

Fortunately, it looks like chatbots will take the jobs of journalists, call center workers, Hollywood writers, and two-bit furry porn artists and not much else.
