	If AI is going to lead to mass unemployment then we should see the unemployment rate start to rise and overt-ime (paid and unpaid) to fall. Over the last few decades unemployment has cycled while over-time has been trending up.

	While their study is no doubt detailed, the general scenario has been around for decades. The problem is that in reality it's all a bit more complicated. A lot of proponents of these sorts of ideas presume that AI will have the benefits of intelligence but without the problems. I think this is unlikely. Problems like laziness, procrastination and even mental illnesses may well be intrinsic to intelligence. Moreover some problems are actually more likely with high intelligence. Maybe we can't build a superbrain without it having crippling anxiety. Intelligence in our universe may well be self-limiting.

		+	We keep seeing engineers talking about how AI will replace most jobs but do we see economists saying this? These people are talking outside of their professional are of expertise, they are doing so with authority and they are being publised by the MSM. Being an expert in AI is not the same thing as being an expert in the potential social and economic impacts of AI. These claims go against the Luddite fallacy.
