The industrial revolution didn't create 90% unemployment. It changed the nature of 90% of jobs but it didn't cause unemployment in and of itself. This doesn't terrify me. What was truly terrifying about the industrial revolution was the way it upgraded the horrors of warfare to an entirely new level and precipitated a world war brought about by the shifts in the relative power of dominant empires at the time. I don't think AI will put us out of a job. I do think it could trigger terrifying new kinds of warfare and oppression. I reckon there will be one or more Ottomans - dominant world powers who do not adjust to the new technological realities and get crushed as a result.
