> all productivity saving technologies have always been net positive in the amount of jobs created

To what extent has the net increase in jobs been because there have just been more people who needed to work in order for society to not collapse?

Population growth is slowing (expected to peak in 2080-ish). To some, AI feels like a different sort of "productivity enhancer" than we've seen in this past.

I don't think the person's premise is flawed. It's more that you just disagree with it.
