Can you imagine Horses speaking to each other and saying "The automobile won't replace us, they'll be plenty of jobs for Horse-kind, we just need different skills"?
No, because it'd be silly and more importantly, incorrect.
Timeline:
- The Horse population in 1910 was 27.5 Million.
- Cars became popular in the U.S. after the introduction of the Ford Model T in 1908, and eventually after a few decades cars became affordable to the general populace.
- By 2017, the Horse population is only at 7.2 millionand that's with a massive increase in the human population which in the 1800s required horses at a 3 humans to 1 horse ratio.
That's a drop to 26% of the population, because Horses just aren't needed anymore.
Will all human jobs disappear overnight? No, it'll be a slow process but come a few decades, only the chosen few will have jobs or be able to get jobs.
The question is not will AI destroy jobs, because it undoubtedly will, and you cannot slow progress (as was demonstrated by the Luddites in Britain)the question should be "AI will destroy jobs, and what are we going to do about it?"
