You seem to be making a false equivalency. Both the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution created more jobs than they destroyed. A job being some task that can be done that has a net benefit to society. As it stands even without AI we are seeing more jobs destroyed than created with just the software revolution. Sure there are more people in tech than there were before and they are being paid handsomely, but that is largely because most companies need less employees than they used to while making the same or more amount of money.
Once most of customer service and human drivers are eaten by software, which will probably happen without solving 'hard AI' tech will employ even fewer people.
Jobs will only be created out of that if cheaper transportation and customer service enables a new place in the market that wasn't already existent.
So far I don't know of any jobs that the AI revolution has created other than people that create and train AI systems. It simply wouldn't be profitable to employ these people if they weren't destroying more jobs than they take up.
