It's really insincere to claim that AI will create jobs. We have literally no idea how society would respond, and jobs would absolutely disappear. Also, 'creating jobs' does not mean the people who lose their jobs get first dibs. Super irresponsible, but it's the AEI, so.

Many of the jobs created will be due to expensive services becoming more affordable and widely used (architecture, medicine), similar as it happened when printing was replaced by DTP. But overall, reducing the need for labor is not a bug, but a feature of automation.

"Reducing the need for labour" has many different outcomes, though - some dystopian, some utopian.

By itself, it is a very good thing, unless society insists that you have to sell your labor to an economically viable business to be allocated the resources you need to live. There is no natural law that commands it to be this way.

Right, but we live in a society that insists on those things right now, and automation is likely to be in the hands of the people with power and influence. Which is why, to me at least, it's not clear that we'll just magically end up in one of the good endings.

Our social system is an incredibly complicated contraption that hurtles down an incline with ever increasing velocity while everybody tries to push all the buttons they can get at in an attempt to fix things. It has never been otherwise.
