Another thing no-one talks about is that - even if there were no population decline - it was already impossible for workers in these jobs to earn a living to sustain them as any more than barely scraping by in the Western and first world nations.
Issues around heritability of IQ aside: They already couldn't/can't afford homes or enough education for their kids to make a First-world Dream type difference to their situation. Not even close.
The salary one would have to pay a bus driver or a baggage handler in order to make them able to afford basic sustainable life in the West is not commensurate with the talent and skills required for the job. Forget anything along the lines of e.g. 'The American Dream'. That's just inaccessible.
The entire situation is broken in that sense. The humanoids are now going to take those jobs too, and so I doubt there is any real, ethical, serious alternative to something like Elon's UBI.
