It will, AI applied to machines will increase unemployment, as all machines invented by Man have always done.There is a saying floating around along the lines "AI won't take your job - the person who masters it will".

Any machine has created unemployment, it is obvious. Now they will be intelligent machines and the consequence is equally obvious.maybe not this time .. AI to Create 97 Million Jobs ...
A slightly different slant - machines through history have increased productivity to the greater or lesser benefit of all - true this has led to short term painful disruptions in various labour markets requiring reskilling, early retirement etcIt will, AI applied to machines will increase unemployment, as all machines invented by Man have always done.

Indeed, it is so, in the world there are hundreds of millions of people without work.If your hypothesis is correct then the several centuries of machine introduction we have had would mean we should currently be experiencing massive unemployment - which is not the case in Australia.
A mechanic fixes a machine that produces more than 10 workers (depends on the type of machine, random number)what did a Mechanic do before there were machines ? ..
Meaning lower prices and fewer shortagesA mechanic fixes a machine that produces more than 10 workers (depends on the type of machine, random number)
Shorter queues but your 100:1 ratio is a bit extreme. In Australia the supermarkets are progressively moving toward self checkout - but have found they have to have ex-cashiers monitoring customer honesty.A worker checks the machine that produces automatic checkouts for supermarkets, a technician fixes them, 100 cashiers fired.
And their forbears were probably equally troubled. Have you been to China? In the middle of last century they had a massive famine - something they had been subjected to thru antiquity. Heard of any famines in China in recent times? Why not?Indeed, it is so, in the world there are hundreds of millions of people without work.
Do you ever get to Sydney?@JackKirk .. hope all goes well with your web app project. Nice surprise to realize another Ozzie in the Forum.
Do you ever get to Sydney?
Just sent you a PMWe were last there for Xmas 2017. Our Son is in Botany. I have just retired and are presently getting hounded to do the grey nomad thing..
so at some point we will get there again. (if it was up to me, I'd just settle up in Bali.)

Once upon a time there were copyists.
The typewriter was invented, one typist could do the work of 5 of them, also eliminating the need for 4 desks, 4 chairs, 4 lamps, 4 inkwells, 4 pens, 4 baskets and those who produced these things.
The electric typewriter was invented, one typist was enough instead of 3, with a single machine, a single desk, a single chair, a single lamp, ...
The electronic typewriter was invented; then the PC with word processor and printer.
(I leave aside the invention of the Guenberg press and the newspaper rotary presses)
To sew N clothes, M seamstresses with needle and thread were needed; when the sewing machine was invented, N/3 or N/5 or N/X workers were enough.
And so on. To deny that machines, from lever onwards, have decreased the number of people needed for production is to deny the evidence.
It is true that new professional figures have emerged, but the need for personnel has always decreased, with the progress of technology.
