Exactly. We have a blindspot, we can't imagine second and higher order effects of a new technology. So we're left with first order effects which seem pessimistic for jobs.

I don't think what happened around WP to designers is a strong indicator of what's necessarily gonna happen here.

It certainly could play out similarly but, at some point, if all the work in a field from now on only requires 1/100 of manual labor, people will probably go out of work.

This pretty much seems like the self driving car for my industry. I just don’t see how I can remain a truck driver when the AI is going to come for free with the Car.

But yeah I’ll figure something out.
