    Short term it's maybe. Longer term it's no. Long term the value of products that can be automated will trend to 0 while products that can't be automated will go the other way.

    I'm one that believes that very few products can be 100% automated, ever. So there will always be a need for human work. Plus there will always be products that can't be automated. Human's will always find products that are beyond automation. Look at Japan where you can rent a family. No Bot will be able to be your wife or husband. Sure there will be edge cases but for the most part they won't be a spouse. Since all jobs can't go away, workers will always retain their power because new job types will appear and continue the never ending need for work.
