Some jobs are never coming back. Sure, some companies may have been over zealous in making redundancies. But there are plenty of things existing AI tools have replaced.
It doesn’t have to do 100% of your job. If it does 20% of it cheaper than your wages then they can reduce your department by 25% and tell you to work harder because you should be thankful to still have a job.
Still waiting to see all these new jobs it creates. Last I heard stats for the UK it’s just reduced the number of jobs. If we were to successfully demand a reduced working week then it could end up ok. Currently they are taking all the benefits and we are seeing none of it.
people aren’t seeing any of the benefits because the government just outright hates the people. those in power think that the lower classes are just some kind of really bad people who murdered and plundered to get where they are. and partially, that’s indeed what europeans/americans did to get to where they are today. if the government really liked the people, they might give some handouts. though whether that’s actually coming, we’ll see.
anyways, handouts to the people would boost the economy because people have more money to spend, and also, new fields of industry are being created, such as renewable energy and spaceflight.
When business no longer values human work then maybe in spite of all the chaos it will cause, its time to let it die. Whatever the outcome the next imo ~20 years are bound to be a turbulent time.

Handouts shouldn’t even need to be required. Go to a 4 day work week. Maybe even 3 day.
Bring housing costs down and people can spend more of their wages on things that actually matter to the economy too.
