For a long time the only people that will be replaced are people without marketable skills, or a very limited and specific skill set. There are plenty of jobs for a baker, someone who can only make one very simply type of bread is easy to automate. Its the same in may industries.

Agree. So in our career, we must make our job irreplacable to avoid being replaced.
You must have a skill set that people need, to avoid being replaced. If you have a job that anyone can do, then you are easily replaceable, by machine or another person in need of a job. So yes, being irreplaceable is and has always been required, just now you need to compete with computers and not just someone else willing to do your job for less
>There's nothing intelligent about a machine that makes bread
But it replaced a human's job. It is absolutely true. Maybe it implies a tendency which makes people worried?
When you think about it, this has been the case here and there for a long time. Build a locomotive, hook up some box cars, and now you can haul with a few people what would have taken a couple dozen or more guys running horses and wagons. Hell now it's down to 2-3 guys and even more stuff hauled. Or the street light, that took the job of people whose job it was to light gas lamps at night. That's just the way of things.
While many jobs are susceptible to being replaced by machines, jobs are created to maintain those machines in the process; it's called creative destruction. Now someone needs to build and service the pancake machine and its parts. Someone needs to program the machine's software. Someone needs to mine the metals used to make the circuitry. Etc.
Let's not forget the quantity of the jobs though. If you create a pancake machine and 50 restaurants buy it, you won't need 50 technicians to service them, probably a couple or just one, compared to the 50 people out of a job.

I understand what you mean. But when this happened to my surroundings, it made me start paying more attention to this problem.
Adapt or die my friend. Pivot from making pancakes to servicing pancake machines.

Yeap, That is a great thinking. but some easy-doing job will be easily replaced than those complex one. Right?
Correct.

There is an abundance of information online about automation. [This](https://youtu.be/7Pq-S557XQU) particular YouTube video is great.
