Oh, they'll be different all right. FAR worse, due to political and social changes.

We got the optimists on one side and the doomers on the other side

In reality things will be more in the middle

There's no way nearly all jobs will be automated in 10 years. Even with exponential advances in technology, I can't see that happening.

I wish all these things would happen! But yeah full automation within 10 years is crazy.

Only 20-30% of jobs need to be automated for there to be serious problems, IMO.

I know right. Like 20% is fucking crazy. That would be around a billion people unemployed world wide which is significantly enough to have some serious impact on global society.

That's a good rule of thumb...until it isn't.
