To what extent are you worried about AI/AGI creating really serious job market shock?

Preface, I try to remember that human beings are self-important and dramatic by nature, and we like to think that something really huge and impactful will happen during our lifetimes. For example, there are plenty of Pop Tart eaters on the political board who are convinced that the United States is on the brink of some sort of civil war or revolution or dissolution of our union.

I also try to remember that our job market and economy survived past technological advances. For example, half the county here were farmers 80 years ago, and now nobody farms.

And yet I still can't help but worry about AI and AGI creating mass unemployment and a serious shock to our economy. It's hard to think of a vocation or job sector that won't be impacted. Even the "learn to work with your hands" and "become a plumber" people will be impacted, because the talented young people who previously would've learned to code will now apprentice and ultimately start their own plumbing companies, and you'll see three or four times more plumbing trucks on the road with the 3,000 dollar graphic wraps. Women will feel it too. Even prissy woman jobs like HR and administrative assistants will be hurt. The public school system is the largest employer in a lot of the counties around here, and what public education will look like in 10 years, who knows. Truck drivers are royally screwed.

All the dinosaurs in Congress, they won't react until one too many of their grandkids or their friends' grandkids get laid off and displaced by AI, and only then will it become real, and by that point we'll be playing defense.

In closing, I don't know where it will happen, but I have a really bad feeling that it won't be good, and I never get bad feelings about the future.
