It has always been like that. We invent machines to help us be more productive. Not to work less, but to produce more. Or the same, but with less people. And every time people protest because they are losing their jobs. Time passes, new types of jobs pop up. Rinse and repeat.
That being said. I'm not particularly on board with A.I. Sure, it can do some really impressive things, but at the same time I think it's been hyped way above its limits, and I'm not a fan of its environmental footprint. I just don't think the result is worth price. But I guess only time will tell.
