You mean like tractors, electric motors, powered looms, machine tools, excavators, and such?

Yeah, and? In the limit, those things are why our population isn't 90% unfree agricultural laborers (serfs or slaves), 9+% soldiers to keep the serfs in line, and < 1% "nobles" and "priests", who get to consume all the goodies.

This same basic argument about "putting artists out of work" was made when photography was invented. It didn't work then, and it's not going to work now.
