Huh, weird, another "technological marvel" whose primary effect just seems to be devaluing labour.

Technologies entire job is to make it less work to accomplish something and therefore easier and cheaper. In some cases that will make it possible to do things you couldn't do before but in many cases it'll just end up causing the value of said labor to fall. The problem isn't change, but the rate of change and the fact it's affecting our own field rather than someone else's.
