That depends on how the extra profit is distributed, aka taxation and social welfare. Slaving away 40 hours a week on a bullshit job that can be trivially automated is not a benefit per se.

For some workers, that's a huge benefit. If they get ousted they have to find another degenerate position or work for a lower salary. Usually it's both.
