Could AI create a ‘permanent underclass’?

There already is a permanent underclass. Do poor people by and large claw their way out? No.
Yes, yes they do. My parents couldn’t afford coffee when I was born. My dad was able to buy a $600K home in the early 2000s that’s worth double today.

As a guy who clawed my way out of poverty, I can warn you: People who state those opinions on the Internet almost never want to hear about a success story — even if it could help others. (Not that downvotes even matter though)
That’s not an opinion, it’s an anecdote. Even if it were true, it does not contradict the first guy’s claim that “by and large” poor people do not leave poverty.
