I think many folk understimate AI. We can essentially program for outcomes and let the AI figure it out from there.

Sure, people will still be needed for a lot of stuff and for the foreseeable future they will be making the high level decisions and giving the AI goals, but it will still have the power to automate a lot of jobs.

We are incremental improvements away from convincing dialogue with humans, there goes many phone based roles(tech/customer support and sales). Driving(freight, delivery), factories, fast food, cashiers. All could easily be on their way out soon if we don't actively try to stop it. New roles will come up, but likely in much lower numbers.

Those a pretty minor roles. Show me the AI that can provide useful marital advice.

Pretty minor roles probably make up 50+% of the workforce.

What are all the people with no jobs going to do?
