Prediction AI, the economy and work

AI-driven employment shifts will not happen at anywhere near the velocity people expect.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Reasoning

Vague prediction with no horizon and no defined benchmark for 'anywhere near the velocity people expect', so it can't be tested.
