“Herein lies our answer to Leontief’s analogy: the difference between human labor and horses is that humans have a comparative advantage in new and more complex tasks. Horses did not. If this comparative advantage is significant and the creation of new tasks continues, employment and the labor share can remain stable in the long run even in the face of rapid automation.” 1489

But: “Mechanization (e.g., in bootmaking, textiles, iron and steel) often created as many jobs as it destroyed, but the new jobs were different and didn't tend to go to those displaced from the old ones. This resulted in persistent unemployment for some segments, while others benefited from expanding job opportunities in newly created sectors.”
