Question description #

The two noteworthy dips in U.S. employment over the past twenty years came with the 2008 recession and the 2020 Covid pandemic. There is now growing anxiety that the upcoming AI revolution might displace jobs on a far greater scale, in everything from art to software engineering. This question aims to shed light on the likelihood of that happening.
