I agree that there's a benefit to making processes more efficient by replacing human labor with AI where possible, but I interpreted this to refer to systems that have wide economic effects, like robosigning foreclosures or selling company stocks.
The job decimation will be huge: truck drivers, delivery drivers, taxis, bus drivers, automotive insurance industry, traffic enforcement, collision repair shops, emergency services, car sales, car manufacturing (less accidents more vehicle sharing).
I'm sure it will create a few new job types, but a couple of orders of magnitude less jobs than the destruction. Hopefully the world considers this a good thing.
Honestly it seems that most people are too ignorant to see economic pain this will cause until it has happened. Unfortunately, I'm sure unions and industry groups see this train coming and will put up road blocks (pun intended) to delaying an inevitable roll out of the technology.
