I don’t think anyone is worried about there being too many old people for young people to look after. I believe you’re confusing that for the very serious issue, being that there won’t be enough young people financially supporting social services to adequately fund them to meet the needs of the aging population. In that sense, AI automating jobs directly exacerbates the problem, because less young people working means less taxes funding things like social security and Medicare in the US.
