He addresses this as that AI would be a poor hunter-gatherer, but is actually quite good already at specialized low thought jobs, and there are enough of those out there to cause some economic instability. Furthermore, AI doesn't have to be 100% error free and spectacularly outperform every human, it just has to be cheaper and as-good or better than the average worker. I can think of a good number of coworkers in past jobs that are ripe for automating away - its just a matter of time when it becomes cheap enough to implement. These jobs are not high thought jobs but the ones where the rules are already set and they just follow them.
