> I know a lot of counter arguments are a form of, “but AI is automating that second class of job!”

Uh, it's not the issue. The issue is that there isn't that much demand for the second class of job. At least not yet. The first class of job is what feeds billions of families.

Yeah, I'm aware of the lump of labour fallacy.

Discussing what we should do about the automation of labour is nothing new and is certainly a pretty big deal here. But I think you're reframing/redirecting the intended topic of conversation by suggesting that "X isn't the issue, Y is."

It wanders off the path like if I responded with, "that's also not the issue. The issue is that people need jobs to eat."

It depends a lot on the type of industry I would think.
