    > Similar logic applies to every industry and every job. And it comes to the conclusion that we won’t have enough people for all the jobs that need to be done.

    In the (extremely) short run, yes. In the long run, those jobs will also be done by AI.

    It's like chimpanzees seeing human society and saying "look how complex it is, imagine how many chimpanzees it needs to maintain it".

      We're building tools to serve the human society.
