do you have a single fact to back that up?

Forecasts from every industry expert. Here's a good overview.

That's somewhat accurate. We're a lot further away than he'd like to pretend in terms of software development automation. Certainly won't be a problem in my lifetime, even if software advances as fast as realistically possible.

Could you be more specific?

Not without teaching you machine learning. Computer science is not nearly as far advanced as this video suggests, and the stuff that he does mention is the cutting edge, not as functional as the video would suggest, and not at all mass-producible. While it's an eventual future, it won't be in my lifetime.

I study machine learning, specifically deep learning, and work in the computer science field. We're making giant leaps in advancing narrow AI. Keep in mind strong AI is not necessary at all for a revolution like this and it will almost certainly occur in our lifetime. It's not going to replace everything but huge swathes of human work is going to be deprecated.

Like Marx said all jobs will become increasingly automated until all jobs are the same and require no skill at all, no differentiation between workers, and all workers have the same level of social class (proletariat), and there will be no reason to keep the capitalist any longer.

Salient.
