“Past experience is that they create more jobs, even if disruptive.” Yeah, past. It does not mean that will still be the case, as AI becomes more capable. There comes a tipping point where AI could become so capable that it turns a 1,000 man warehouse into a three man operation and 997 people are simply superfluous.

“...They are leaving a view to die for.”

You’re describing Amazon warehouses, robots to read zip codes and shunt packages into appropriate chute. A few live bodies to replace/repair malfunctioning robots.

Well the same thing happened with shipping. Ships that in the 1970s needed hundreds in the crew now get by with 28
