The current unemployment situation seems largely irrelevant to a future scenario where mass AI roll out happens. Things are likely to change somehow. Probably dramatically. So more of the same is probably not what the future holds

And when we automate those? If you keep automating stuff eventually you run out of places to put the displaced people. Does that not seem intuitively logical to you?
Upskilling doesn’t magically solve that problem. It just saturates a different level. Bit like going to Uni used to be a certain win now less so because everyone is going to Uni.

Who’s auditing the mass AI’s output? Who will you call when the AI inevitably go off the rails? Who will debug the mass AI that went off the rails so the lessons can be learned and integrated into the next generation of mass AI? Who will build, deploy, and supervise that next generation of mass AI? These and other questions, attempted thoughtfully one by one, should make it harder and harder to hold on to a belief that we can ever run out of work for humans. The work will keep getting better as more is done for us - more creative, and less drudgerous; but it’ll never stop being directed by us because we are the interface to the human world.
