Bad logic and flawed data extrapolation in the title and graph. You can&#x27;t extrapolate percentages linearly over large amounts, otherwise by the year 2550 there will be 125% unemployment. As usual, relevant XKCD: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;605&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;605&#x2F;</a>

Why American <i>men</i> specifically? Is it that women tend to be in careers that are less under threat in the next 34 years? Or, are they similarly affected here?

I really wonder what people will work with in the future with both the AI and human population advancing rapidly. Jobs will be taken over by robots at the same time as more mouths will have to be fed.
