Every new industry will be at least partly automated right from the start.
The issue isn't that there won't be some new jobs created. It's that there will be fewer and fewer created, while existing jobs are simultaneously coalescing into fewer and fewer positions.
And those new jobs will be under pressure, both from automation and from the ever increasing number of displaced workers trying to retrain into the new fields.
The fundamental problem is the devaluing of the human worker by making them much more replaceable, even if it's just with another human.
