A comment on Jobs That Artificial Intelligence Will Create. Parent comment
It's that there is a huge population that relies on that work, and if you haven't noticed, our culture is pretty terrible about offering alternatives.
So should this large swath of people suddenly be on their ass, or even not so suddenly but over time, with no alternative, shit will get real.
Your hard cold facts approach forgets humans are emotionally volatile, and as we're seeing, our social structures not as stable as we tend to believe.
You seem to believe that should the bottom fall out, your cold hard facts about reality will spare you the wrath of a hungry populace.
