Someone needs to maintain and setup those efficient brand new looms. All I hear from AI is the promise that managers and owners will no longer need creative and managerial workers.

As many people as were employed as artisans? — are the new jobs on average as good as artisanship?

Or so we displace 9/10 workers to worse or no jobs while 1/10 gets a valuable one?

My understanding of AI is that it’s likely to represent the same 90:10 split — where some people operate those new AI systems, but most people are displaced to intellectual assembly lines. (Or unneeded, entirely.)
