I've been saying that for several years now. Before Covid, I read three different interviews with Musk, Gates, and Cuban, and all were warning about how pervasive AI was going to get, and how it was going to replace a LOT of jobs. They all predicted that it would start with driving jobs, due to self-driving vehicles, which would replace lots of truck drivers and Uber drivers. Uber and Lyft have never made a secret of the fact that eventually they want to eliminate their human drivers and replace them with autonomous fleets.
Once you start adding in fast food locations (which can be easily automated right now), many retail and warehouse positions, lots of office positions, etc., and 25% starts to sound like a conservative estimate. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 40% or even higher PERMANENT unemployment rate in a decade.
So what do we do with people who just don't have robotic and software knowledge? We will have two choices - Universal Basic Income, or reduce the population by the unemployment rate. The question is which party will support which solution, and how will they implement their solution. I think we all know the answers to those questions.
republicans will pick genocide, and if centrists are still running the democratic party, they won't pick anything else.
Actually if anyone is definitely going to be replaced with machines and automation it's software developers and coders.
So much for "learn to code bro" lol
