This is a bad argument. Even if a machine replaced my job, I'm still going to eat, run the aircon, charge my phone etc. and maybe do another job. So the energy used to do the job decreased, but the total energy usage is higher because I'm still using the same amount of energy, but now the machine is also using some amount energy that wasn't being used before.

Efficiencies lead to less resources being used if your demand is constant, but if demand is elastic, it often leads to the total resource consumption increasing.
