> The real solution is for people to upskill and learn new abilities

AI is being touted as extremely intelligent and, thus, capable of taking over almost any white collar job. What would I upskill to?

The marketing buzz is not the same thing as reality. Upskill to something AI is bad at. There is plenty to chose from in the present.

Upskill? No, that’s not the point. You’ll be down leveled (potentially several levels) economically and held there.

Consider some poorly paid servant work. It will be sold to you as “noble work” or something along the lines to entice/slander you.

The jobs that would exist if only we gave the "job creators" just one more tax cut, I'm sure.
