Your attitude is Panglossian, and even your concession that these changes are "going to impact the job market quite a bit" massively underestimates the danger we could be facing. As opposed to what happened in any previous era, we're talking about the replacement of workers across practically all white-collar career fields, all happening over the course of a few years. There will be nowhere for these workers to go but down, into low-paid and precarious service work—assuming they can still find work even in these industries, which will have become more crowded with workers of all sorts; the skilled trades are likely to face a frightful race to the bottom as well. How many years of such creative destruction do you think our economic and political systems can weather before something truly disastrous happens?
