Maybe there’s net-zero job loss from AI

Yes:

The [German] Federal Employment Agency assumes that artificial intelligence leads to profound changes. According to her boss Andrea Nahles, about 800,000 jobs could be lost in the next 15 years.

But:

At the same time, a similar number of new jobs is likely to be created. The current data thus indicate less of an immediate wide range of AI-related job cuts than of a gradual change, the first consequences of which may be felt by career starters in particular."

Well, Excel sure did destroy a lot of jobs and lead to less employment…[checks history]…oh…wait.
