Fine points, though I think automation is much more likely (as we've already seen it begin to happen) to phase out the human being entirely, rather than make their labor more productive, by simple virtue of the fact that it costs less.
Plus, it only becomes easier for it to cost less, the higher wage the human beings are demanding (and/or forcing via legislation).
Fine by me, at least in the long run. I look forward to advancing to the utopia where robots do all the work, every human receives a UBI (or money is just done away with entirely), and we're all free to pursue whatever hobbies we want, instead of toiling away to increase stock value for the shareholders. We're probably a long (long) way off from that, but I welcome any progress towards it.
