Summary: AI will specifically destroy jobs created by computers in the first place, preserving 'offline' jobs, while minimally impacting work quality, and preserving gross productivity.
1) The jobs that AI destroys will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the computers created, facilitated or enabled, 2) The more that workers in a given field were reliant upon computers, the lower the percentage of them will be required to accomplish the same output after AI is deployed; this reduction in demand for workers could be up to 90% in some market segments. 3) When this happens, work quality only suffers slightly; 4) When this happens, productivity is not reduced, and some companies may scale-up fewer workers to surpass previous productivity levels.
The take-away is that jobs that were largely or entirely not dependent on computers (or which predate computer) will be less impacted by the rollout of ML and AI. These jobs include carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen.
This will remain true until corporations push culture if not laws to have androids perform those remaining jobs left to humans (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen). At that point, society will debate whether productivity is more important that anthropocentrism and protecting a moralized, industrious, human populations.

"I'm a USPS door delivery mailman, so, according to West's Theory Of Specific Economic Destruction, my job delivering mail should be fine even if the Postal Service grows more efficient at correctly routing addresses and scheduling delivery drivers."

Get the H theorymug. A theory that says that timbering is the most important thing in society, and that we need to deplete the land of it's trees. This word was invented by Tim Pool.
I want to engage in critical lumber theory. I want to analyze the intersection between lumber and timber practices and the law.

Get the The Blackwell Theorymug. This theory is the same exact concept as the pickle and/ or olive theory, but for pothead significant others. If the relationship has one person who is a master at rolling and a master at getting high, then the relationship is at an equilibirum. This is best explained by the phenomenon of “opposites attracting.” Since there is always one person who knows how to roll and another who wishes how, the compatibility of both partners are being constantly tested.
* This does not guarantee that someone who can roll and someone who cannot are perfect matches. It is simply a trope found in stereotypical stoner couples and is a better argument than the olive or pickle theory itself.

Friend: “Yeah, me and my girl are pretty close. We smoke a lot but I don’t know how to roll…”
Me: “Sounds like THE ROLLING THEORY to me bro. Does she roll all the time or do you bring your piece?”
Friend: “I don’t even have a bong! I bring weed and she always insists we match, I think I might have to put a ring on that finger!”
Me: “Hooray!!!!”
