The problem is we're looking at a future where you're constantly going to have to retrain and then eventually the amount of jobs will be limited.

A lot of countries are looking at UBI others are looking at options for having more people working less hours and sharing the jobs. Whatever the solution the future is very scary, I can't think of many jobs that won't be disrupted by automation and AI.

Neural networks will make humans obsolete. How could they not? They're just connections of mathematical objects...kind of like the way we describe reality. If we can accurately describe reality, then we can accurately instruct a computer to perform real life tasks.
