Well, machine learning might have a ceiling. We just don’t know. Everything gets better, until it doesn’t.
Maybe machine learning can help us find other paths that succeed it’s limits. Or maybe it too hits roadblocks before finding the real AGI/ASI route.
There is a lot of hype right now. Some deserved, some perhaps a bit carried away.

There isn’t a job on earth that won’t be impacted by a huge unemployment wave, though.
Even if you have the most secure job imaginable, if 50% of people are unemployed, your line of work will be flooded with today’s smart, capable, white collar workers as they retrain.
People (especially capable and adaptable people) will see you’re doing okay and try to emulate you. Which will push your wages down.
Today’s middle class aren’t just going to lie down and say ‘guess it’s game over for me’.
