Not the person you're replying to, but I think the point is that the study is bullshit, even if the point is apt.

You'll have to elaborate. Seems to me that AI taking over a bunch of bullshit jobs amounting to replacing 12% of the workforce is quite plausible.

Agreed it's plausible, but the methodology is suspect.
