A strong counterclaim against the claim that "artificial intelligence (AI) will create more job opportunities than it will replace" is:

"Some believe that AI has the potential to eliminate a significant number of jobs in various industries due to its vast abilities."

This counterclaim emphasizes the concern that while AI may create new roles, the speed and breadth of AI's capabilities in automating tasks could result in the displacement of a substantial number of existing jobs. It points to the potential for significant job loss in sectors susceptible to automation, suggesting that, rather than job creation outpacing job replacement, the opposite could occur, leading to increased unemployment and economic disruption in certain fields.
