The book I am reading wrt AI predicts that between 40-47% of all existing jobs today will be replaced by AI - how are people going to "adapt" to that?
Efficiency just makes things faster or cheaper for the overlords to produce -with more wealth going to a smaller %- autonomous vehicles will replace many well-aid or at least decently paid jobs that GIF workers and blue-collar workers rely on. Without UBI or other plans to cushion the immense job loss or reduction in pay as humans take a more peripheral role, it is going to be brutal - I probably wont be around if it gets to that point because that level of replacement wrt work will take 20-30 years - if it gets that high.
Even if AI displaces 30% of the workforce, it will be at a scale never experienced before and affect all levels of workers, from low-paid basic to higher-paid professionals.
The overlords and tech titans are worried as well, with some suggesting a form of UBI or other safeguards, because they realize that if the workforce shrinks, their customer base shrinks since a loss of income means a loss of purchasing power.
Thewre are some new jobs and opportinies forecast to arrive as well, however most of them are very high tech and rwure a level of skill and re training that is out of reach for many of the displaced.
