Ubicination

New word alert - many guys deep into AI, often seem to assume ALL jobs will be automated and eventually everyone will need a universal basic income and so on and on. 

Just the walk down the street in India, will tell you that the cobbler, the water-can provider, the panipoori seller, the parotta master, the sanitation worker, the swiggy delivery person, no AI seems to be in a hurry to automate these jobs in a cost-effective way, so the fear is more in high-end tech/IT job sector and to some extent in factory automation.
