Kind of, because now 1 person can do the job of hundreds, or thousands, and now you'd either have to:
1. Invent new (bullshit) jobs for the thousands to do
2. Pay those thousands money to live (basic income)
3. Send them off to die, fighting for you and the 1 person commanding the AI, in the next major armed conflict

The 2020 high school dropout at Jiffy Lube has the attention span of a goldfish, pumped up on drugs his entire life, needs to know between this tool for this vehicle, that this brand needs this, that there are now 200 different oils, and no matter what happens even if he did excel that the store will be sold to a VC firm that will knock it down to put up a cheaply made 6-plex where three of the units are full time tax-free Airbnb rentals. We have/are absolutely exceeding the ability of everyone, let alone the below average. Half the time I look at what I need to know and wonder how most people are getting by.
