People said the same thing about the assembly line, robotics, online shopping and computers.  We still have jobs.  Just different jobs.  

Edit

Oh and Spotify was going to kill the music industry...  yet Swift is a billionaire.  

None of those things is comparable to an AI. The whole point of an AI is to mimic what a human can do (or better) in multiple things, not to just do one thing. 

Automation in the car market has devastated cities like Detroit as well, parts of that city look like a literal war zone, AI won't just affect one industry it will simultaneously begin targeting dozens of them. Computer programmers, people who work in IT, artists, videographers, photographers, voice artists, models, accountants, translators, truck drivers, bus drivers, taxi drivers, etc. etc. etc. 

Car Manufacturing simply left Detroit and went elsewhere.
It's a failure on council/government/legislation and policy rather than manufacturing itself.

Tesla for example has grown by leaps and bounds and employs 10's of thousands in car manufacturing. - Just not in Detroit.

In the mid 70's there was also a shift in car sales to more fuel efficient Japanese designs... And the USA didn't change with the times, parts manufacturing moved to other parts of the country.

It was a mis-managed perfect storm of events that screwed over Detroit, the manufacturing jobs still exist, most are just elsewhere.

Throw in the collapse of GM, Ford, Chrysler etc' during the Global Financial Crisis... And that just compounds the issues.
