I think you're even forgetting where the real strength of AI will always lie. AI can reliably make a lot of dumb, simple decisions. AI will massively expand what we can automate, and we can hope that this will bring back, things like textile manufacturing, orchards, large scale agriculture (even where "complex", like harvesting), delivery services (e.g. within companies) ... and all these new firms will suddenly find they require programmers, developers, embedded development, electrical engineering, ...

A LOT of new to be created firms will suddenly find they require programmers, developers, etc. Hence a lot of jobs.

We'll need a small level of improvement in the current crop of robots available, but not much.

I think the developer market is about to expand massively if tariffs are spreading (because that will force a lot of countries to move a lot of production back onshore, as goods are prevented or obstructed on the borders).

Of course, either I'm totally wrong or people haven't yet really realized they can do this, as it's not happening on the level I'm predicting ... yet.

Yes, you rarely hear specifics like this as to where new jobs will come from. Hear, hear!
