AI will continue despite backlash; some workers (hair stylists, surgeons) are immune for now

Oracle Summary

Norm Miller lands at 45/100 (moderate) for minimisation. The claim frames broad AI displacement as inevitable while suggesting some workers are 'immune' and others are not—implying those displaced simply failed to occupy protected occupational niches. This minimizes structural labor-market disruption by attributing vulnerability to individual occupational choice rather than systemic forces. The 'juggernaut' framing treats displacement as natural progress rather than a policy or economic problem requiring response.
