This has nothing to do with AI. People have been losing their jobs to
automation for centuries. Read about the Luddites. Imagine how many
scribes lost their jobs when the printing press was invented. Or
imagine how many laborers lost their jobs when the wheel was invented.
In more modern times, how many secretaries lost their jobs because of
word processors? AI is just the next stage.
