There are some proponents of AI who seem to feel that any jobs AI might eliminate were never worth having in the first place. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
Doug Casey – the columnist – was interviewed recently about (among other things) artificial intelligence. He was asked whether he thought AI would be good or bad for most of us – and answered that he thought it would be better for most of us, because (among other things) it would free all of us from what he styled “dog work,” by which he meant – I think – physical rather than brain work.
No more factory workers. No more working in the fields. Nor more making things or driving things from where they’re made to where they’re sold; no more people at stores handling sales.
Just machines – with artificial intelligence – doing all of that “dog work.”
The people who used to work will thus be freed from having to work. But is it a good thing for people to not have to work? To have nothing productive to do? To no longer feel the feelings associated with earning one’s daily bread? And who will provide their daily bread once it is no longer necessary to work to earn it?
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
The ol’ it’s gonna work this time with the free rainbow stew bubble up.
Get back to me on those utopian visions.
The daily bread will drop from the sky by the “historic” cargo cult czar like manna as we all motor along at 35mph speed controlled in beautiful spandex jackets that match the color scheme of our unicorn fart powered Zil Trabants!
Happily ever after…er it’s gonna work this time.
