Computers did not create the same number of jobs they displaced. At best, maybe 1/3 of new jobs were created. I’m betting that the number of new jobs might be 1/10 of the jobs being destroyed. More over time.
They created numerous times the number of jobs that they replaced.
It is not close. 75% more jobs than 50yrs ago and computer jobs went fr near zero to a lot.
I understand the confusion though, the doomsday models and doomsdayers have such a rich history of accuracy year in and year out. Just see peak oil, peak food, ozone hole, covid-
AI is going to take everyone’s job!
