edit: added video explaining democratic workplaces
Sadly, this will keep happening.
Corporations are: profit>humans.
Once it is cheaper to replace humans, they will.
Co-ops and unions. Democracy in the workforce is required.

It seems that the work was easy enough to be replaced. I wouldn't do a job that can be replaced by an AI in the long term.
What job do you do now?...
I am a car mechanic and can't imagine being replaced by a AI or machine any time soon.
Blue collar job are safe from this type of AI. If anything it will make diagnostics easier.
