Summary

The article argues that AI itself is not the primary threat to jobs; rather, the danger lies in how AI is deployed within an economic system where workers have little leverage over productivity gains. It validates AI anxiety as rational, noting that technological change has always reshaped labor markets, but the current context of weakened worker bargaining power makes AI-driven displacement more harmful. The piece emphasizes that companies, not AI, make firing decisions, and critiques the distribution of productivity gains.
