Unemployable is a charged word. A lot of outdated professions still have professionals. There are still professional horse drawn carriages.

If the AI performance gains are 50% improvement, and companies decide they rather cut costs and pocket the difference, could be due to many factors, that leaves millions out of a job. And those performance gains are coming for many white collar jobs. I guess your premise is mass unemployment is not worth worrying about, so okay then.

Marginal changes in productivity can make huge impacts to industries employment rates.
