Some people don’t get it! This has everything to do with the rising minimum wage for think less jobs. Robots have been replacing expensive jobs for decades; have you seen how new cars are built?
Another myth: it does take people with higher wages to program, maintain, and make these robots. A few programmers write the code for thousands of robots, a few maintenance guys can support hundreds/thousands of robots, and you might have robots building these robots. In many places, 1 person can program a CNC machine that will pump out thousands/millions of widgets. How about the new 3D printers that really anybody can program.
Technology will keep getting better and better and when more people implement AI, everything I mentioned above will be even more pronounced.
When robots get smart enough to do the programming, design, and the building of future robots, that’s when we have to worry
