If AI works you'll be able to make more stuff with fewer people. While that could lead to unemployment historically it's not gone that way. You get more stuff.
Like agricultural employment has gone from ~70% to ~2% but the people who would have dug potatoes make cars, houses, aircraft and the like.
The problem isn't AI, the problem is a generation addicted to social media that sells their attention to the highest bidder.
How expensive do you think it would be to convince 30 million people of something that wasn't true?
Who might benefit from a generation of Americans being pessimistic about their future?
More specifically, who might benefit from a generation of Americans being anti-AI?
How would the cost compare to the potential benefits?
