It seems to me that there are two possible outcomes with AI. It becomes very successful and displaces the workforce, at least in the short time frame,or it fails for many of the reasons mentioned.

It doesn't have to be binary. AI could be very successful and cause only a modest amount of overall job loss concentrated mostly in the specific sectors where it works best. That's often what happens with technology - robots revolutionized a lot of manufacturing, computers revolutionized a lot of information processing, and the internet as well. Yet there are still manufacturing/assembly jobs, still secretaries working in offices, still brick and mortar shops.

There's probably a very wide spectrum of possible outcomes, not just two.
