What I don't get is the difference of timelines in his argument. Considering all the fields where supposedly humans are to be replaced by robots we are talking about a point in time probably still a 100 years off. (And we just cannot say for sure that all those activities ever can be sufficiently performed by robots, probably until it happens.) So how are we supposed to know what kinds of jobs there will be in a 100 years time?
My (imaginary) farming and livestock-holding greatgrandfather probably didn't ever imagine someone could make a living out of Search Engine Optimization. Still, despite machines ploughing our fields, we still have jobs. So we probably will have jobs in 100 years time. We just have no idea which ones.
