Rather than catastrophizing on AI destroying jobs, I believe that it is reasonable to look at the integration of AI like that of any other technological innovation in history. Consider when we switched to more efficient modes of transportation, energy, or communication. Workers that were employed in the "old" way of doing things were displaced, but there there were always new opportunities downstream of the technological innovations. As long as the automation brought out by AI aids in more efficiently meeting the needs of consumers (and gov't intervention through overregulation is at least kept to a minimal), I don't see why this time it would be any different.
