Like of course in the short time period between now and getting to AGI, yes it will create many new jobs. But nowhere near as many to replace the jobs that will be lost. And the jobs lost will be lost forever, just like we don't have people operating elevators anymore. Once its done its done.
I understand that this is coping. I am not sure however how intentional this is, but it does seem like universal propaganda that the majority of news outlets after talking about some new AI advancements will also have some "expert" guest invited to reassure everyone that "Yes yes, many things will change, but it will create whole new sectors of new jobs. There is nothing to worry about!"
Like if these people are being genuine then i don't get the logic, it is just delusional to think that "Okay yes. AI is taking more and more jobs at an increasing rate. But then technology and AI will suddenly stop advancing and no more jobs will be taken away." Like is that their line of reasoning?
