> Certainly jobs will be eliminated by automation. That's easy to see. But new jobs are always being created. The problem is that we don't know which jobs will be created, while the jobs being destroyed are tangible and exist right now. How about more prison guard jobs? Incarceration rate has quadrupled since 1925, so that's a nice way to take care of unemployment twice -- for both inmates and their guards. Tractors still needed to be driven by humans. It's like the horse carriage example. Yes, horse carriages were replaced by cars, and human horse carriage drivers were replaced by human car drivers. But what the hell happened to all the horses? With AI, humans are the horses! If you don't think that effects of automation are felt yet, you should check out the last presidential election.
