AI May Increase Jobs Instead of Eliminating Them
inductionheads · x · 2026-07-12
A repost argues against the idea that "AI will eliminate jobs":
- In reality, profitable projects often outnumber the available time, talent, and resources.
- AI lowers the barrier to execution, turning more ideas into real projects.
- The result is not a "fixed pie being divided" but a larger pie, generating more wealth, jobs, and positions.
The author believes that what AI truly harms is bloated, poorly managed large institutions, not the economy as a whole.
