I agree with the premise that there are going to be new jobs. We'll create new needs as fast as we (or AI) invents solutions. For instance, when Starbucks at $4 replaced getting gas station coffee at $1 the economic impact grew to 4x.

I don't know what we'll assign the value to, but most likely it will be something that machines don't do that well (yet). For instance gardening -- creating a robot to make elaborate flower beds, etc. seems to be very far off. There's nothing stopping us assigning value to that equals what we now assign to corporate lawyering.

Dumb (or smart) computer will be able handle mergers and acquisitions, but will they make the most beautiful flower beds?
