In the past, technology hasn't simply removed jobs, but created more. The sewing machine put small seemstresses out of work but created factory jobs. The mechanization of farm equipment removed the need for so many farmers so people flocked to cities to work for new industries. Generally, technology takes the jobs we hate to do and gives us the freedom to do the jobs we like to do, like problem solving and services and travel industries and art and entertainment. Sure, AI may be a good resource in the classroom, but are parents really going to be ok with there being no human teachers to foster social connectionand developemyn? Who will make sure the machines are running properly and fix any bugs or errors? I think humans will always be needed in the age of technology, and if not we will desire to do work that flourishes our communities.
