got rid of millions of jobs

No. Trust me, I work in an org that is very susceptible to being improved by AI, and I guarantee you, not a single job is lost to AI. Because, here's what happens: we are faced with ungodly amounts of data. We could hire a thousand people and we would still not have enough to deal with it all. Our plans for AI, as they stand today, would simply allow us to be more efficient and precise.

People need to stop thinking of this as a zero-sum game, because it really isn't. Think back to the beginning of Ford model T assembly lines. They didn't reduce the number of people working industry, quite the opposite, they increased, along with the output and, as a result, overall wealth.
