Can you elaborate on why you think putting people out of jobs like this saves them? How will they find viable alternatives with limited educational or technological access? Honest questions, non-rhetorical. I know it's possible, I just don't see everything rosily. It'll kill some

Or cut them out of jobs. Yikes! The possibilities of AI are incredibly exciting and truly scary from job killing perspective. I definitely think we all need to brace for those possibilities as they are inevitable

While you wait for that next shining moment in our inevitable future you can rest easy knowing we've already rescued plenty from low wages in other parts of the world via self-flying airplanes and seem poised to do so indefinitely.

It's not an overnight transition. It will take a long period of time during which the number of jobs created by AI will exceed the number of jobs ceased to exist due to high diversification.
We may see low-income jobs like data cleaner instead of car cleaner.

There's also about 3.5 million truck drivers, and a bunch of other driving related jobs that are gonna disappear or be radically changed in the next ten years or so.
Good thing our forward looking society is totes prepared for that change!
