AI productivity gains will not reduce hiring; human work will persist indefinitely despite AI advancement

Oracle Summary

Jaspar Carmichael-Jack lands at 45/100 (moderate) for fantasy economics. The CEO directly denies AI displacement concerns by claiming productivity gains historically increase rather than decrease employment—a comfort-story narrative that ignores structural economic differences between prior automation waves and current AI capability expansion. The claim that 'human work is going anywhere, really ever' is a blanket denial of AI displacement without acknowledging sectors already experiencing automation-induced job losses. Moderate score because the CEO is partially self-aware (acknowledging the billboard was 'viral marketing'), yet still promotes economic fantasy about AI-human complementarity without empirical support.
