I predict that AI will increase overall demand for knowledge work, though some types of it will likely be wholly made obsolete and replaced by other types. When something comes along that is a force amplifier it usually grows the economy, increasing labor demand. This is good because it means we are unlikely to see permanent unemployment, but it’s also bad because it’s why we are working harder and harder even as our productivity increases. Our growth does not lead to an age of leisure because it creates yet more work to be done. Computers for example replaced tons and tons of manual office work but also created a massive industry of programmers and IT admins to service computers.
