Jobs that AI won’t replace?

They upset you perhaps because you realize how advancing technology is creating your obsolescence. Nobody likes realizing they are becoming of less value, yet everyone eventually has to go through that as they age. This is just hitting you earlier in life in a different way.

I mean, I realize that, but what am I supposed to do about it? ‘Learn AI?’

Just have to be aware of it, and not let it blindside you when you get replaced. Have backup plans, different job or field, ready to retire, etc. in place already.

AI is not going to take all of the jobs in any field. But they will take some in all fields. So there will be less options in a given field but not no options.

Beauty industry. Hair stylists, nail techs, waxers, estheticians, lash techs, etc. I know some who make mid-6 figures.

I’d hustle hard from 18-28 in the beauty industry (it’s maybe $15k for school and you’re done in 6 months). Save and invest every penny. Start buying up real estate and earn passive income from that.

Will make human hires VERY COMPETITIVE. Companies won't want to hire humans that require insurance, days off, etc. when AI or bots can do it without all that, and work 24/7.

Yet you give no examples of how AI is replacing nurses...

AI might supplement what a nurse does but it won't replace a nurse.


Obviously.

This is what most people here don't seem to understand. Machinery didn't replace slavery/sharecroppers, it just made it where fewer were needed for any given situation.

So while A.I. won't completely replace most fields, it WILL replace about 95% of the jobs in an average field that will benefit from the A.I. and robotics.

A current example are fast food places replacing someone at a register, with a robot kiosk. There will still be a manager to attend to kiosk/customer troubles, but now there are several less workers needed to tend the front counter.



yoooooooooo.....this is not correct....at all


The cotton gin caused the number of enslaved people to increase — and here’s why, very clearly:

The cotton gin (invented by Eli Whitney in 1793) made it much faster and easier to separate cotton fibers from seeds, especially with short-staple cotton, which could be grown across much more of the American South.

Before the cotton gin, cotton processing was so slow and labor-intensive that large-scale cotton farming wasn't practical in many regions.

After the cotton gin, cotton quickly became highly profitable. Planters expanded cotton cultivation massively across the Deep South (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc.).

Even though the gin reduced labor needed to clean cotton, it dramatically increased the demand for labor to plant, cultivate, and harvest the cotton fields — which led directly to an increase in the demand for enslaved labor.

By 1860, cotton accounted for nearly 60% of U.S. exports, and the number of enslaved people in the South had exploded from about 700,000 in 1790 to nearly 4 million.


But they didn't get paid

It can't do all the skills. Can AI wash someone's butt? Can they tie a tourniquet? Can it maneuver a baby with potential shoulder dystocia?


You and I know that, but they are absolutely happening in every aspect of nursing that it can. Patients will pay the price

I think it’s pretty telling and offensive that you think blue collar workers don’t use their minds. Plenty of that kind of work requires problem solving (electrician, e.g.).

I hope your daughter isn’t close-minded and snobby. People screen for that.

I don’t think you understand AI


+1. Studio Ghibli would like a word. Once AI learns your “style,” no need for you.


Agree. I’d be worried for artists for sure.

Psychologist


AI computer could review millions of cases of data in a microsecond and monitor vital signs during a session, similar to an advanced lie detector, to give better therapy than any human, even a team of thousands of psychiatrists/psychologists, could give.

I would not trust AI for mental health, which requires empathy, reading one's body language. AI cannot think like a human.


I wouldn't pay someone hundreds an hour for "feelings". You want facts and scientific analysis, not a shoulder to cry on.
AI will do much better in that field than any human ever could.


You think therapy is just someone reciting facts to their client?


I'd never use "therapy" to begin with so that's moot. But one should want a non-emotionally involved person in that role playing situation.


That’s you, bro. And therapists are trained to check and manage their emotions to hold space for you to process yours.

I’m in school to become a therapist and I use AI for coaching/therapy. It’s helpful, but it’s not a replacement for real human interaction and connection.

Although, there are apps like Halo that might be working towards replacing the ministry.

And robots will do the work without any "human" stressors (i.e. complaining, attitude, etc.). I'm wondering if our society will turn into a universal basic income culture in the future if most humans can no longer get jobs.

Does this depress anyone else? Not that jobs will be replaced per se but that robots will run the world which means we will know how to interact with robots which means that robots trained by humans will become even less human as the humans become less human...

The BroBillionaires will never allow that. They get off too much in bossing and humiliating people. Sick.
