They haven't even started all the plans they keep announcing. The point is, they are saying they aim to REPLACE humans with AI. Nobody should be so fucking naive to think they mean to hire humans back in support of this somehow. That's just idiotic.

The new jobs may come whether they "mean to" or not, though.

All that money that gets saved goes somewhere. Yes, "trickle-down" is a lie, simply feeding more money to already-rich people won't mean much to the economy. But if AI makes it cheaper to run a company it can also make it cheaper to start and grow a company. It's not just giant companies that will be making use of these tools.

You find some examples of this ever happening. You are a naive optimist or a fool if you think this has ever happened.

I was speaking to automation inadvertently creating new jobs in the space they take away from, as you had suggested.
