The "they" are the wealthy executives and investors doing whatever they can to optimize every single penny into their pockets

In a way it is "the humanity doing it to themselves", but they sure aren't asking the average worker how they feel about it, or letting them have any easier time because of it. If enough work is automated, they'd rather fire people and have one person work for two while the second person starves.
