I think narrow AIs won’t cause mass unemployment but more general AIs will. I also think that objectively that isn’t a problem at this point anymore because AIs can do all the work but I think it will take at least another decade that humans can accept that.
The narrative that work is good because you contribute something to society and so on is pretty deeply engrained, so I guess lots of people won’t be happy after being automated away.

General AI isn’t the same as radical abundance, but to the extent they’re the same, I see that as making the unemployment concern moot.
I also have faith that humans will continue with the “purpose driven life” under such circumstances.
