I could argue that the purpose of my job is effectively putting other people out of theirs, because ~50% of what I do at work, is automating the simpler (but as time goes, more and more complex) areas of their jobs. These are jobs that require years of experience and a decent level of intelligence to do well (involves critical thinking etc etc)

So yea it's definitely happening.
