I do agree with some of this and often feel the same way. However, at the same time we need to be honest about what computers did as well. They had the ability to eliminate many jobs as well. Technologists also pushed forward with little to no regard for the jobs that would be eliminated by their products. It’s been going on for decades. Programmers have also been trying to code themselves out of a job since the beginning. Low-code and no-code automation products are some modern examples of that, AI is the latest attempt. This isn’t new, but it’s seen as more of an existential threat. When we look at computer so far, it’s possible that they’ve created more jobs than they took. The big question is will AI do the same, and how what will the transition be like? Those are uncomfortable unknowns, but the world has been through many such transitions before and humans always seem to come up with something else to do.
