If you eliminate ONE job and let's say the job pays $100K, in theory at most $100K goes instead to AI revenue. In practice it's a lot less, nobody is going to move everything to AI if it's just a 10% saving.

So, to get a trillion in value, you'd have to eliminate many tens or even hundreds of millions of jobs.

Yeah, I think high tens of millions of jobs would be eliminated. Most employers are seat warmers anyways.
