The good equivalent example is translation. You would expect Google Translate to make translators redundant. However, they are busier than ever. As they can now translate documents a lot faster, it becomes more economical for companies to translate documents.
Regarding job gains, we initially will see a whole bunch of snake oil sales people selling AI.

Of course, well-written poetry and prose will still need to be translated by an expert in both languages, as well as possibly literature and linguistics.
