The real challenge is helping people transition, not assuming jobs are disappearing forever.

This is not happening in any concerted effort, they may get UE from the State for a few weeks as many States like mine included only provide 12-20 weeks of about 1/3 what people were making barely enough to buy a handful of rounds of groceries with prices what they are if they are lucky. These days it may take 2-4 months if People are lucky to even get through the background checks, interviews, ghost jobs. Point being and this is a State issue but the Federals could lean on these States and force them to act much quicker in helping people.

Excellent point.

As an aside, I analyze companies as potential investments using AI. When I first started using it, I thought it would save me many hours of work. How wrong I was.

Because I can do analyses that used to be impossible (analyze each company deeper and analyze more companies), I am now working many, many more hours.

In this same vein, I read an article last month about the legal department at a public company that thought, as I did, that AI would help them reduce staff. The opposite happened. Because they could dig deeper into the legal issues their company faced in its expansion plans, they were called on to do more and more work and had to start adding lawyers and paralegals.
