The argument can be made that this time it is different. i.e. EVERY SINGLE OCCUPATION IMAGINABLE will be replaced.

I very much doubt that.

People are infinitely creative. People will find things to do.

People invent things that no one ever imagined that they needed and suddenly everyone needs it.

Can a computer that doesn’t have feet imagine a need for shoes, socks or socks with toes?

Yes.

The problem is that creativity must be nurtured. Computers ARE creative now. This is one of the things mentioned in the video. Also mentioned in the video is that we don’t need billions of creative people. And even then, most of the things created by people can be created by AI. And people need to be incentivized to create. When the system fights creativity, little happens. It’s why the soviets mostly just ripped off the inventions of the west.

What is about to happen is that AI will beat humans at virtually every single thing human beings endeavor to do. There may be a few humans that bring real value to the table, but eventually even thy will be replaced. It really is inevitable.

It’s one of the reasons I believe the Lord’s return will be soon. Either that or there will be a complete collapse of western civilization and we will start mostly from scratch.
