I don't get how AI is supposed to create new jobs in different industries.

If you run a travel agency or personal finance firm or real estate tax advisory or anything else that isn't a trade, even mega ones, what is the point of "licensing" software from an AI company when those same capabilities are being or will be offered direct to the consumer.
People are like "this is going to make businesses more lean and efficient by requiring only 1/10th the employees and costs"
But why would there be those businesses at all.

mostly, yeah
the claim that new technology "always creates more jobs than it obviates" is totally untrue. AI will definitely eliminate more jobs than it creates
the argument for AI being a net improvement to the world is that it will create vastly more material wealth, to the extent that we'll be able to tax the enormously profitable capitalists and financiers and redistribute that income to everyone else, making everyone net better off. but i don't think this will work, because capitalists and financiers will just dodge getting taxed, like they currently do
imo there is no sound argument for AI improving regular people's lives within the existing sociopolitical paradigm that we currently live in. the whitepill argument for AI is that it will empower talented and ambitious individuals and groups enough to become legitimate rivals to the existing sociopolitical power structure

the existing power structure is slow, decrepit, corrupt, incompetent. they aren't even aligned enough to take broad and decisive action against AI as a technology
besides, if one government tries to regulate AI out of existence, AI companies will just move to other governments instead, who will eagerly welcome them with open arms
people are already building LLMs that run on distributed networks that will be more powerful than OpenAI, anthropic, etc frontier models. AI will become what many "dissident" people thought that crypto was: a way to build parallel networks that can actually concentrate enough power to achieve autonomy from the existing sociopolitical paradigm

it's not supposed to just create new jobs. those pumping ai think it will displace many workers. instead of having a call center with 50 employees, you'll have ai agents taking on the role of 40 employees and you'll only need 10 to deal with issues that can't be resolved by ai.
if your call center agents cost 80k each (all in), you're talking about reducing human costs from $4 million a year to 800k. that leaves a lot of money on the table to pay a potential 60k/month ai bill. call center costs could fall by 50% or more

I think the argument is that 300 years ago everyone was a farmer.
Now we have masseuses, influencers, personal trainers, cruise ships, dog walkers, and other frivolous shit.
Can we take our frivolous jobs to the next level? I'm skeptical...
