Politicians and journalists used to blame "automation" for the loss of industrial jobs, when in reality those jobs were just gone to China due to unfavorable trade agreements.
It was a blame deflection. AI is the excuse they are using to get rid of all of these fake adult daycare jobs for women and numales.

Most white collar jobs are completely useless and produce nothing of value. AI is just an excuse to get rid of millions of useless eaters that produce nothing with their fake jobs.
