The two are not contradictory positions: the problem with AI is societal - all the jobs being given over to it is a problem that's only compounded by the larger issue of people fundementally not understanding the sharp limitations of AI, and how it cannot actually be used to replace most jobs.
if ai is not capable of doing the job people will be hired who can do the job! feel free to read up on supply and demand
If we lived in a society that made rational decisions you would be 100% right. Also, everything wouldn't be all "this is fine" right now, most of the world's problems would be getting solved and I wouldn't be screaming and screaming and screaming into the void.
You think we live in a completely rational society that operates off market fundamentals like "supply and demand"? That is like planning a road trip assuming you'll drive on a frictionless flat plane in a vacuum.
If supply and demand were truly adhered to, Boeing airplanes would be out of business after their doors falling off mid flight became widely knwon. Tesla would be out of business since their cars break when going into a carwash. Several banks would be out of business after gambling on housing speculation.
The idea that we live in a self regulating society that operates off The Invisible Hand is pure fantasy. Capitalism picks winners and losers all the time while making excuses swallowed by rubes like you.
