It will take as many jobs as it will create. But ideally, it will create a compelling argument for things like basic income, improved access to healthcare, and so on - primarily to keep society growing and moving.

You think? I'm somewhat pessimistic on this take. If such shift is closed to happen, I think government will just ban AI since just the logistics of shifting the entire socioeconomical structure are far to great to have a trial/error with people's lives.

  No ban will happen as we will have an AI "arms" race with every country in the world, particularly China. AI will allow us to create a new category of automated devices that will allow people to do the job of many in every industry. And we will need a new crew of people to maintain them.

      Horses can only really perform (more or less) one function. Humans can do more, and adapt to do other functions. This is something that is as old as time, jobs eliminated with the advent of new discoveries and new ones created as a result. When we came up with better cleaning tools and appliances, were cleaners as a result reduced or eliminated? No, it only expanded to places that couldn't afford them before. As a result, cleaning jobs were expanded and services that offer cleaning became more affordable. Another example... instead of hiring web developers, which are too expensive and difficult to justify in a small business - we can now hire people that do multiple functions thanks to ChatGPT. AI will allow us to build tools that can reach a greater audience and enable a greater level of accessibility than ever before. It will enable people with disabilities to do things that were not possible before.
