Mechanisation/Mechanization of farming basically put 99% of farm-workers out of a job.

Banking apps closed 99% of high street banks (here in the UK at least).

Amazon is basically destroying the shopping high streets.

Technology has a way of disrupting what we've been doing for generations. I think the whole AI thing isn't made up - we're going to see rapid change in a very short time frame. Personally I'm trying my hardest to adjust, as I don't want AI to "happen" to me, by learning the skills that I can only predict will be important.
