A Unified Theory For How AI Will Affect Jobs

This article presents a unified theory on how AI will affect jobs, arguing that both job loss and job creation will occur simultaneously. The key insight is that the standard for employability will rise significantly, leading to a bifurcation: a group of highly skilled workers who thrive with AI's magnification, and a larger group who become unemployable without major self-improvement. The article explores common predictions, references Jevon's Paradox, and emphasizes the need for workers to adapt to new, higher standards.
