From the conversations I am having this appears to be false.

There will be new jobs created from AI that young people need to be able to pick up.

Remember Jevons Paradox, the more cheaper AI is, the more usage and use cases of AI we will see, which means an abundance of more jobs.

Definitely not buying this. If anything I think we will see a barbell distribution in the job market, with entry-level and very high end jobs still available and a lot of the middle tier of jobs being taken out. The theory behind this is that the entry-level people can increase their effectiveness using AI tooling to the point where where they are almost as effective as the middle-tier used to be, the very high end are still needed to do the things that AI doesn’t do well and fewer middle managers, professional meeting attendees and telephone sanitizers are needed to make the whole thing function.

How many jobs we create is a terrible metric for societal progress. How many jobs we destroy is the absolute best. Man doesn't need labor it needs work and work based on need/subsistence is a necessity for capitalist barons and communist pimps.

What have we been struggling for if not freedom from menial routine production - especially in engineering and farming? Jobs are a way to onboard new markets into capitalist systems and to busy idle hands in socialist ones. We should be wary the proponents of job creation and critics of work nullification in equal measure.
