> Whether AI comes for our jobs or not is not really relevant. Whenever there is technical revolution some jobs will vanish, new jobs will be born and some existing jobs will remain but they will also change.

Except that one of the major problems is that the people who built their lives and careers around those jobs are historically hung out to dry.

It is looking like software and most white collar work will be replaced before the trades. How many 45-yr senior software workers will be happy to give it all up to become a plumber? Don't forget they will be competing with all of the other displaced workers which will drive down wages. Will they be happy begging for minimum wage jobs unclogging sewers?

More points:

Reskilling will become increasingly impossible as it becomes faster and faster to train an AI model than a human on new types of work.

Net job creation is far from guaranteed. Most law work is competed by paralegals and other staff, but replacing them doesn't mean there will be a natural growth in legal cases. A lawyer might be able to process cases 10x as fast, but that doesn't mean there 10x as many lawsuits and criminal cases will magically appear - at least I certainly hope not.
