The AI Unemployment Anti-FAQ (2013)
&gt; for AI or productivity growth or increased trade or immigration or graduating students to increase unemployment, instead of resulting in more hot dogs and buns for everyone, you must be doing something terribly wrong that you weren&#x27;t doing wrong in 1950.<p>Not necessarily.  There&#x27;s going to eventually come a point where any job that can be performed by a low-skilled worker can be performed by automation.<p>The example used to combat this notion is that servants used to be more plentiful than they are now, and low-skilled workers would be ripe for these types of careers.  Well, what did servants do?  The same thing my robot vacuum cleaner and dishwasher and microwave and Amazon Echo do now.
