A mechanical arm in a factory back in the 80s wasn't as effective a worker as a person, it was however, much cheaper to run than hiring a worker there. Something doesn't need to be a perfect replacement for it to replace workers.
Funny how so many alleged "socialists" stop caring about workers losing their jobs and bargaining power the instant the capitalists try to replace them with a funny treat machine.
Last I checked, Marxists are not opposed to automation and development of productive forces.
