AI could replace 100M jobs by 2035. Are you talking to DCs about “safe” majors?

As AI gets more sophisticated, it will be more effective than any human in customer service. I find conversing with a well developed chatbot much more succinct and feel my question is always interpreted more effectively and their answers easy and clear to understand. Of course, it depends on what product you are getting service on.

I have literally never gotten a clear, easy, or correct answer from a chatbot.

All the more reason to go to the best college, make the most connections, find a partner who has no student loans (they’re at the top colleges that meet full needs)

Or learn a trade.

Yeah I thought that list was idiotic. Landscape architect is actually great for AI. Unless you’re having something really unique done, it’s basically just compiling info about sizes, sun exposure, temp zone, etc.

I work in land development. Every person I know with a landscape architecture education has had to go into another field. Sometimes an adjacent field, but another field nonetheless. The work just isn't there. I like pretty bushes as much as the next guy, but 5 years in school? A professional license? Gimme a break.

If historians were replaced by AI, which magically got access to tons of non-digitized material, it would mean society is dead, because instead of interpreting our own past and relating it to the modern day world, machines would do it. Machines would literally be telling us what is important and what to think.

And I don't think those people realize what modern track laying machines can do.

I read that robotics AI is only like 2 years behind regular AI. So then, even plumbers etc wont need to be people.

Welcome to the future! They said flying cars but I guess we'll take this.

No, I'm telling my kids to study what they are interested in and what they are good at, knowing that this will lead them to do something that brings them joy and success, and whatever technology will be at the time will be a tool for them to use in this pursuit.

Theater majors rise up! AI cannot act on stage.

Sorry to tell you that AI advances will far outpace the evolution of robotics. You’re looking at decades before robots could autonomously complete a plumbing job. Frankly, there isn’t enough money in plumbing to make it worthwhile anyway.

Point is there are always jobs that emerge due to technological advances that we can't conceive of in advance. A broad, liberal arts education usually means someone has the skills to adapt. Some of the more "vocational," job-specific majors might have an issue.

a broad liberals arts major lol. what a farce for today’s job market
