This is like Uber taking the jobs of taxi drivers. If the market is there for a development or advancement then there's nothing we can do but accept it and move on. It will happen eventually. Try to stop it and we're impeding not just our own technological advancement but also our growth as a species.

Uber was not an advancement. It was a way to exploit desperate people, marketed as an advancement, and the taxi drivers are even worse off.

Technology is a form of evolution that can't be stopped. But we could ethically channel it - if we actually had moral leaders (that weren't silenced).

The video's "complex jobs" are simple, excluding interaction with humans. The video's "intelligent jobs" are largely just instruction-following, with some creativity involved which is the only fun part.

Unemployment can be dealt with with universal basic income, but that's difficult to arrange in a world where unscrupulous rich people just go somewhere with lower taxes, and there aren't enough scrupulous rich people.

AI is nowhere near as advanced as they say. It can do tasks that we find difficult with ease, and do tasks we find easy in two months with a 95% failure rate. That's just because it's different to us.
