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 West's Theory Of Specific Economic Destructionmug. A coordinated effort by individuals or groups within a political or diplomatic framework to deliberately undermine, sabotage, or obstruct collective goals, negotiations, or institutional functions for personal, ideological, or strategic gain. This form of collaboration while appearing as teamwork aims to erode trust, create instability, or weaken opponents through tactics such as misinformation, bad-faith negotiations, strategic non-cooperation, or bureaucratic sabotage. It is often employed to stall progress, shift blame, or manipulate public perception while maintaining plausible deniability.

Get the Destructivemug. A destruction suit, is a type of fursuit that has taken less than a month to make (Whether be just the head, a fullsuit, or a partial, doesnt matter) and has no thought put into it. Things like water colour on fur may be used to give a weirdly rough look.

Get the Destruction suitmug. The act of diminishing or destroying the original meaning or purpose of an entity (be it individual, location, building, group, etc) during the act of building it up (building up the image, adding to the building, adding more rules to a group, etc). Not to be confused with hype, which is the building up of expectation.
Guy 1: “Man the club used to be so fun, now its just a drag, what happened?”
Guy 2: “Destruction through construction, id say it happened when that one guy came in and added all those rules.”
