It is amazing to me that we have reached an era where we are debating the trade-off of hiring thinking machines!

I mean, this is an incredible moment from that standpoint.

Regarding the topic at hand, I think that there will always be room for humans for the reasons you listed.

But even replacing 5% of humans with AI's will have mind boggling consequences.

I think you're right that there are jobs that humans will be preferred for for quite some time.

But, I'm already using AI with success where I would previously hire a human, and this is in this primitive stage.

With the leaps we are seeing, AI is coming for jobs.

Your concerns relate to exactly how many jobs.

And only time will tell.

But, I think some meaningful percentage of the population -- even if just 5% of humanity will be replaced by AI.
