“It will take care of itself” seems painfully naive to me.

It isn’t moving faster than at any other point in history. Productivity growth is rather poor right now.
It, being jobs. The idea that we should be planning for a world with a shortage of jobs in the next 20-40 years is not supported by evidence.
I would agree that tracing people for these jobs and transitioning people whose jobs have become obsolete to new jobs will (and always has been) challenging.
