Jobs won't dissolve into the ether. If the human civilization system grows bigger and complex, it necessitates more people.
If humans were a high energy configuration in the evolution of intelligent systems, we'd never come into being. That Earth's ecosystem has begotten us indicates we're some low energy configuration for packing more information density into the energy flows from the Sun through Earth's biosphere.
Unless we create replicating machines, any machine system we build will only grow more complex by enabling more humans to work on it. We'd be in trouble if we somehow created autonomous self replicating and evolving machinery but chatbots built on natural language machine learning ain't it.
This take only makes sense when the required inputs are human exclusive. As soon as the abilities of the "chatbots" near that of the average human (a point that we are fast approaching if we haven't reached it already) the logic falls apart because any newly created task that a human can do can instead be automated in turn. Even if we're left with a few highly difficult tasks at the top of the pyramid by definition the vast majority of people won't be capable of performing them.
