Try this one: tell me which people you know, in which industries, have outright 'lost their jobs' due to some AI or machine? Not so many.

This is a nice tidy test that is not entirely useful. You can't know anyone that didn't get hired into a job that didn't get created. Say a plant doubles output while destaffing by way of retirement. No one loses a job, automation eats more than 1 plants worth of jobs.
