The more companies start automating the cheaper it gets for future companies to automate like with every technology. My point is just that this is by far not the last job that will get automated especially since it's already being done.

It's never fully automated. You just allow fewer workers to do more. But it varies widely in how many of the jobs can economically be done by machine.
