RE: The use of the word “create” is generally meritless in the context you proposed.

OK, let me put it another way, will there be more Americans hired for new jobs because of these trillions of dollars of investments?

Not really, no. The use of the word “new” is generally meritless in the context you proposed.

What these AI job "investments" are doing is in the very gimmicky "job shift" scenario. That is, AI is in fact a job destroyer - where a human used to be doing some job now this machine is doing this same job. But what if you could pull jobs out of some foreign country and those jobs come to the U.S? Sure, an American would be hired at a now insourced job but its not a new job and there's an overall net-loss of jobs that needs to be considered.

The poor man might be inclined to say he got a new shirt at the Salvation Army thrift shop. We all know - that's not a new shirt. It's just "new" to him. His use of the word “new” is generally meritless in the context of the thrift shop.

It just is.
