Farming is hard work but is not necessarily difficult or hard to learn. Same with assembly line factory work.
But when college graduates are put out of the job by neural networks that can analyze information better and faster than the ugly bags of mostly water ever could, what do they do? Where do they work? What kinds of jobs will they have?
And if they cannot find work, what happens to the the income of their hairdresser? Their grocery store clerk? Their barista?
What if they can't find jobs either? What do they do?
ML is fundamentally different from any technological revolution that has come before. Humans have a long history of automating brawn, but not brain.
I refuse to accept hand-waving that things will simply change and be ok as they were before. Machine learning will be the biggest reckoning in the history of humanity even without full-blown artificial intelligence. And nobody knows how it will play out.
