yours is an unfounded fear since before the days of the buggy whip, when people were worried that the automobile would kill jobs making buggy whips. they were right about the buggy whips but it never dawned on them how many jobs making automobiles would create. I know that argument. But AI is different. Yes, new and different jobs are created. The automobile was a new way of transportation, so yes, it created new and different jobs that filled the need for transportation. And of course someone has to write the code for AI robots, so code writing and maintenance of the robots will be new jobs, or at least variations on old types of jobs that will require more people. But, aside from the obvious to me fact that not nearly as many of those jobs will be created as the jobs that will be displace, at some point, AI robots themselves may be able to write that code. And build more robots. What are the new jobs that will be created that AI robots won't be able to do and humans must do? Will AI robots eventually jump the shark and be able to think for themselves? Become self-aware, like Data in Star Trek? Have a will of their own? I don't know.
