The upcoming AI/robot automation apocalypse means that we are going to have fewer people working. The question is how we're going to deal with that.

That article covers what happens before the apocalypse. What happens after it, i.e. after the point where AI and robots can not only do our current jobs better than we can, but also all of the ones we could possibly retrain to?

Unless AI and robots become effectively humans, they will not be able to do our jobs better than we can. And they do become effectively humans, we will have much bigger things to worry about than unemployment.

Elon realizes this, hence his warnings about AI - how we deal with it is build a better bot that counteracts EvilBot 1.0.
