a few decades, so 30 years? No, not a chance. We'll have a powerful general AI that can do the majority of knowledge tasks in just 5-7 years.

I think folks underestimate modern society's demand for devices and distractions. You may be right, but there is usually far more nuance to most jobs than any AI on the horizon is able to tackle. I think production per capita will keep going up for a long time before the overall unemployment rate starts going down.
