Best case, yes exactly. But again, that’s happened before many times though (once upon a time, there was no conveyor belts or cranes in a warehouse either, there was guys doing that work) so I’m not too worried. Worst case it just fails.
The difference is that conveyor belts weren’t poised to impact 80% of all jobs on the planet, AI is.

Okay, modern agriculture then. Before industrialisation, 98% of people worked in agriculture as basically peasants. Now it’s pretty much exactly the opposite, with 2% working in something related.
I agree AI could be a major problem if it gets even a little bit better. This specific story isn’t an example though.
