There was a book published 10 years or so called "Bullshit Jobs". It pointed out that a huge percentage of modern jobs are just boring, repetitive work, done in cubicles, for no reason which is truly crucial for a company's survival.
Jobs in transportation, banking, insurance, law, advertising, politics (!), and lots more are often like this. People tapping on keyboards to create documents and ledgers and charts which no one really looks at or needs. You can be in the office, you can be remote. Doesn't matter. Because this type of work really doesn't matter. But millions of people are employed, doing this work that doesn't matter.
And AI can do it better, faster, cheaper. It's boring, mindless, repetitive work.
I think the number of eventual layoffs is going to be huge. Within the next 5 years.
Seems like the corporations are getting prepared for that day. And some quality workers will get replaced too. We're not going to need code monkeys when AI can do it for you.
If so, get ready for UBI.
I do think at least 30% of corporate jobs are useless. Likely higher.
