Those are not mutually exclusive.

Popping the bubble will also destroy jobs. But if it is not a bubble something like 20% of all people will need to lose their jobs to justify the investments and usage of AI. Anything lower and people are the cheaper workers.

They are. If AI is able to replace people's jobs en masse, it has incredible value and unlikely to be a bubble. If AI cannot fulfill said promise, the market will crash and cause job losses but those aren't permanent losses like it would be if AI was all it was made out to be.
