The video skips a very important step. It isn't just human vs. AI. It is human vs. human+AI. If a human can do 10x the work with an AI assistant, we only need 1/10 the humans in that job for the same output. So then the question is, does the added productivity grow that market, retaining those jobs, create new market opportunities, shifting those jobs, or just produce a bunch of unemployed people?

From my experience and reading, a human plus AI is actually slower at an given task than a human alone. Mostly because a human usually has to fix all the shit an AI got wrong. It's almost always faster to start with a blank slate and do it right the first time.
This only really applies if you care about quality in the first place. If all you want is slop, AI can deliver.
So far, just lots of unemployed people.
