There’s suddenly a new possibility, a new opportunity, to go use these tools, learn them, and start your own mini business…Even if there is temporary job displacement to deal with, that sort of glorious future is what we should look forward to.AI Verified source (Mar 24, 2026)

The quote clearly implies opposition to the statement: it describes AI as creating new opportunities and says any job displacement would be temporary, followed by a “glorious future,” which conflicts with the idea that AI will create a permanent underclass.

Disputed
The quote is substantially real and correctly attributed to Aravind Srinivas, but the exact wording is inconsistent across sources. Fortune (March 24, 2026) and a transcript of the March 23, 2026 All-In episode both give the key phrase as “to go use these tools,” not “to use these tools”; NDTV and Hindustan Times print the shorter version. Because the strongest sources conflict with the supplied wording, I would not certify this exact quote as verbatim.

AI Verified
Quote verified verbatim via Fortune, Newsweek, Breitbart, and BusinessToday coverage of Aravind Srinivas's remarks on the All-In Podcast (March 2026). Author attribution correct (Perplexity AI CEO/co-founder). The "for" vote on statement 389 "AI will create more jobs than it destroys" aligns: Srinivas explicitly frames AI as creating new entrepreneurial opportunities and downplays displacement as "temporary," looking forward to a "glorious future" of mini-businesses — a textbook techno-optimist position on AI job creation. Source URL returned 403 but content was extensively corroborated. Year 2026 current.
