Think about call centers - does anybody want an AI chat bot to resolve a customer service problem? No, it's useless. Does anybody want to call an offshore call center? Also no, though it's usually better than AI. But people love the US-based hotlines and higher-end bank service lines. You have to pay for a good customer service experience, there is no way around that.
Actually I would rather an ai chatbot as it will give me a refund as I can escalate to the max. The refunds would be more generous if there were few to no people employed for customer service.
I absolutely prefer a chat bot to a human who has no idea what they're talking about. One of my kids has a medical device that frequently fails and it's been so much easier to get replacements now that they've moved to chat bots. Give me a bot any day!!!

There have been concerns about mass unemployment due to automation since the start of the industrial revolution. It hasn't happened yet. Jobs have changed, but mass unemployment has never been a problem.
True, but it will be soon, as population globally keeps rising, while technology keeps negating the need for a large labor force.
The U.N. projects world population is going to keep growing until at least 2100.
Definitely a problem for all countries with lax borders.

You came here and gave sensible answer, how dare you.

Tell that to the countless people stuck in the many dead American towns that used to be booming with middle class jobs. AI is just another version of “outsourcing to china” that outsources to robots instead of another country.

Remaining jobs can be spread out more. Maybe the new work week will be 30 hours.
Yes Medicare for all and 30 hour workweek!
