I have yet to see a single example of AI replacing someone and doing their job. The vast majority of these cases are simply companies doing layoffs and blaming it on "AI" to deflect the bad press (and of course the media is eating it up). Meanwhile everyone remaining has 2x the work load and a useless $10/mo ChatGPT subscription spitting out garbage.

Voice acting as a profession will not exist in a couple of years.
I have a hunch the arts don't need to worry as much as they do now.
Celebrity is, has always been and will continue to be a draw.
It's not unemployment, it's self-actualized "me" time!

Remember how a decade and a half ago everyone was convinced that taxi drivers and truck drivers would be replaced by AI in the coming years? There were even mass protests over it, and governments started to make contingency plans and enact legislation. The topic was discussed to death non-stop all over the internet and news media, just like AI is right now. Meanwhile today not a single driver has lost their job, and…
I remember that as an AI-car company driven hype cycle that was used to justify beta testing their cars on public roads. According to them, traffic Jams were supposed to be a solved problem and everyone would be making 20k/yr leasing out their car as a robotaxi.
With that said, the impact of AI is not equal across different industries.

The perspective is different for a software engineer compared to an artist or an actor. Jon Stewart is not talking about the IT industry

Autonomous driving doesn't exist. Convincing Text to speech does, it is just a matter of tooling around it. >Heck if anything good AI generated voiceovers will be a huge boost to the indie gaming industry. And all other video game industries, which will also not be paying voice actors.
You haven't been paying attention. There are Waymo fully autonomous rides happening already in multiple very large cities. It exists every bit as much as AI voice acting platforms.

The closer to human abilities AI gets, the less space there will be for new jobs to appear. Just because new jobs appeared before doesn't mean they always will. It does make sense to slow down this progress if we don't have answers to what happens if jobs start disappearing faster than we can replace them.
Who is going to "slow down this progress"? Some mythical world government? The Illuminati? You can't legislate human thought and human ingenuity. Progress is happening, whether you like it or not. You either embrace it or get left behind.

Which artist or actor has lost a job to AI?
Seriously, who cares? It is someone who knows nothing about AI, commenting on someone who knows nothing about AI talking to someone who knows nothing about AI, but who is CEO of a company who owns part of a company which has employees who know about AI.
The mistake I see is we are applying Jon Stewarts comments to the software industry. Perhap that mis-application is due to recent biases from things like Devin. Mr Stewart OTOH is really more speaking about the impact of AI to the acting industry, his industry, for which he is an expert. Jon Stewart historically brings the receipts, he routinely researches the topics he speaks about. If you recall, he was in the habit of reading the books of many of his guests. Based on that history, I would flip your comment on its head.

> Soon enough new ones will spring up to take their place 10 new jobs cannot be sufficient to replace 100 replaced jobs. What are other 90 going to do?
Who says it will be 10 new jobs? Why not a thousand? Or a million? Did the world end when weavers lost their jobs because of automated looms or elevator operators lost their job because of buttons? Just like all the times before, we will figure it out. The only thing that will make the outcome worse is forced government action based on a few loud voices and populist demands.
