By your logic wheel barrows could potentially replace >90% of all jobs.

AI is on track to being able to remove a society-changing amount of jobs, wheel barrows improved worker's efficiency.

Industrialization did replace 90% of people's jobs. And the only thing that happened was that people got new jobs to do.

A lot of them are bullshit jobs though. We've yet to see "AI" do anything actually beneficial. I don't mean the stuff that was done before the AI hype like categorizing bacteria, etc.

Watch the news. One crisis after another, so maybe that freed up work force and the wealth generated by "AI" should be used to tackle at least one of them.

Huge amounts of taxes and dedication of that money could be a first step.

Alternatively don't raise taxes and use the oh so great AI to tackle these issues. Should be trivial if you have ">90%" of all work freed up.
