"But if it is used solely as a convenience..."

No technology may be used solely as a convenience (and almost no technology is created not for certain level of convenience), even the ones you may classify as such. Maybe you consider smartphones purely convenience, since you don't use them, the technology behind them is what allows us to reduce the size of our computers to a micro scale, if was not for them we may have never evolved so much on that front.

Now, some technology will (un)fortunately and have already replaced humans, like the aircraft listeners I said in the original post.

However! If you are worried about creative professions like cook, artists, writers... I'd say that will never be replaced any time soon, as machines are very bad at stochastic artistic inference, i.e., they can do deterministic procedures better than human (like math) but only mimic a fraction of what we can do in classifying how we perceive emotions and senses (the human brain was evolved for that, not exactly for doing straight up math equations), for instance, try talking sarcastically with chat GPT you will see how hard it will be for it to understand you.

Now, you are still attacking technology as the cause of devaluation of human work, as I said in the original post: that's not technology to blame, but how we define labour in our current, i.e., our current system already devaluates labour, if you love your work but produces less than another worker you will be the first one in line to be fired when the company wants, regardless if the other worker is a robot or not.

Truck driving was a good example.  First, truck drivers already replaced other means of transportation of goods, so you defending truck driving as a professional already obfuscates the other professions replaced by it before. 

 "A driving accident means a skill deficit".

This is naively incomplete to say at least, humans make mistakes, it doesn't matter how experience we are, if we are in tired, depressed, or just in a bad mood we can make errors and some of them can result in accidents. Machines on the other hands only make mistakes due to lack of proper training (they don't get tired or distracted), so yes your affirmation would actually defend machine driving a truck rather than humans.

btw, thanks for the discussion, so far this has been very interesting.
