AI will create jobs rather than eliminate them, similar to previous technological revolutions like the internet.

Oracle Summary

Kevin O'Leary lands at 38/100 (moderate) for denial. O'Leary's claim is a direct, named attribution denying significant AI-driven job displacement, relying on historical-comparison comfort narrative without evidence. It positions AI fears as unfounded by analogy, avoids any policy or structural analysis of labour market impacts, and does not engage with empirical data. The claim exemplifies moderate-level copium: it denies the core concern while offering no rigorous counter-evidence beyond 'history suggests otherwise.' Secondary modes include fantasy_economics (productivity gains will unlock innovation broadly) and minimisation of automation concerns.
