The answer is probably yes for everyone.

The problem is going to be,

figuring out the answer to the question, who am I?

For most people, our work will change so much and so frequently that attaching our work and identity, or rather attaching our work to our purpose, is going to be very hard.

And I talk about this to anyone who will listen.

I basically make the point now, I'm willing to argue there will be more work.

I'm sure there will be.

We will constantly find new ways to work.

But I actually don't even think that's the point.

I think the point right now is that we should not be making the economic case or concern.

We should be making the emotional one.

What I write about in the book is what we call identity displacement.

The theory of identity displacement says that jobs changing doesn't have an economic consequence the way it does an emotional one.

And that is actually the crisis we are tracking towards, that in fact, the greatest sacrifice that our generation will pay vis-a-vis AI is

extricating who we are from what we do, because what we do will change so much and so frequently.

That the true measure of adaptability will be willing to say, I have more time with friends and family.

I have more food on the table.

It's okay that my career just went from this to this.

And when people go, there's no way, how will anyone who loses their job have more money or more food on the table?

I remind them that that is literally the course of human history, that their grandparents' jobs are obsolete now so that we can have way more than we've ever had.
