It's only existential in sci-fi books. Textiles were one of the first industries to be automated with the punched cards\power loom 150 years ago. We still have millions of human weavers all around the world.
The problem with automation is you cant ask the robot why X, Y or Z is going wrong and how to fix it. A master weaver on the other hand will do it over a 15 minute conversation.
After overloading the world with information it can't ever process, I don't think either news companies or tech companies know what the fuck they are doing or what they need to do next.
