At first it would be a big win for companies. But as jobs gets absorbed, the productivity boost will become pointless. The pool of potential buyers will shrink because of unemployment and we will end up with the opposite of what you are describing.

I'm not saying that's what will happen, nor your version. Things are never that simple.

But shouldn't we be more precautious? And take time to understand the shift and prepare as a society for this big change? Why rushing on something that would potentially negatively affect millions people life in the hope of productivity boost?

The outcome is not all good, not all bad. We need carefulthinking and planning.
