AI will not reduce software jobs; it is causing more software engineers to be hired because AI output is incredible and agents will use more tools than ever.

Oracle Summary

Jensen Huang lands at 68/100 (heavy cope) for denial. Huang makes explicit denial of AI-driven job displacement with vague, future-oriented economic promises ('going to show up in our economy somehow soon') lacking concrete mechanism. His self-serving position as Nvidia CEO (which profits from AI adoption) is unexamined. Selectively cites software developer growth while ignoring the 56% worker concern statistic and broader displacement evidence. Fantasy economics elements: promises without structural analysis or policy intervention.
