I know who you are MK, and you are an awful person.

You’re a moron.

And everyone at your agency thinks you’re silly and incompetent.

How is AI going to do the hair of all the background and extras ( that’s my main gig)?
Turns out the studios plan to just start computer generating the background actors in the future.
So… yeah…

This was one of the big issue with the actors strike.

Who’s MK? My post really struck a nerve, eh?
You sound like you’re scared AI is coming for your job, like it should. 🤣

Janitor--especially if one of the maintenance duties is to plug in & remove the plug for the AI machine. In fact, this suggests that any such janitor will wield substantial power in an AI dominated world.

I'm in tech and while there is a place for current AI, it's not anywhere near replacing the bulk of us. I'm not saying it won't get to that point, but it's more like an aid than a replacement at this point.

Veterinarian or Doctor will be safe. Yes they will have AI tools, but they won't take over 100%. Same with nurses.

It's funny to me. I enjoy dystopian books and there are so many showing what all this advanced tech can lead to and issues it can cause (not even counting the "tech have come to life and are killing us" nonsense). It's a balance. Too much tech and people can hack into things and cause issues.

What’s if there’s a robot that can plug itself in?

That's why you invest in AI. In ten years, simply work part time to keep yourself busy in any job still left.
I invested for my kids too so I don't have to sweat about their job/career prospects.

It will be awhile before AI is combined with robotics to enable AI to freely interact with physical objects. Jobs like this include the trades (plumbing, carpentry, electrician), retail, restaurant work, emergency services (firefighters) etc. But even those will be impacted by the use of AI.

If you’re worried, the best thing you can do is probably to pay off your mortgage.

I've heard the trades are in danger because an AI in hand makes the tasks very easy. So yes, you need a person to do the motions, but you can photo what you're working on and AI will tell you put PVC pipe x here. So some more complex jobs needed, like everything AI, but it will eliminate the lower ranks.

Yes 60 Minutes showed houses being 3-D printed with 1 guy there watching the concrete dry.

You can do this already with books and YouTube for tons of home maintenance and repair stuff. Lots of people still hire pros because they lack the time, tools, or ability to fix it if something goes wrong.

I'm an archeologist, and that should stick around as long as we have environmental review laws (gutting them is a much bigger threat than AI), but the pay sucks.

I think it's a lot different if you have a ready AI assist that is responding to your exact context. Youtube videos etc are always generic so not the same. But AI with "sensory input" (e.g., camera shots of your pipes/wiring) changes everything.

That’s further off than AI marketers, actors, investors, and lawyers.

I can think of a ton of uses but I also think that we never ever get rid of people in government we just move them around. AI will replace some of our functions but no one will lose a job they’ll just be moved to do something else.

I think once you're in you're safe but there will be fewer jobs available to apply for. Example we kept our admins but we are no longer hiring new ones.
