   the greatest challenge of automation for a capitalist economy is that machines don't produce surplus value, only human labor does

     But human labour only produces surplus value when it's being exploited. If humans are paid a fair value for their labour then there is no "surplus", ie. no profit for the corporate owners. This is why I favour worker-owned co-operatives instead of capitalist-owned corporations.
