The bigger issue I think is how we will reckon with how much electricity and water it takes to run AI--and who will get to use it.

If AI has major job displacement, I fear cities are going to be in very poor shape.

And artists.

Artists won’t. They must create and work with AI. My daughter’s Art school has an entire article on this issue. Smart to stay ahead of the game. Writers, music, art, photography

Artists absolutely will. Want some stock photography or a brand logo? AI can whip you up one in no time. Graphic artists, cinematic animators, book illustrators are all feeling the effects.

People think job displacement means there will be no more human workers in a sector. That’s incorrect. The effect is significantly fewer humans are needed for the work.

Each of those careers will survive generative AI, but can absolutely be replaced by robotics.

Nope, they won’t be replaced by robotics. Technology has absolutely reduced the number of these people needed, but these jobs will never be completely eliminated by AI because they require a meaningful level of human component.

You can’t send a robot to pick up a child at 3am from an abusive home.

Robots won’t ever be the ones trimming your bushes and edging your grass or planting your flowers.

Robots will not ever drive a truck AND get out and deliver the items to your door step.

Disney would never eliminate CMs who check rider seat belts and safety before starting a ride.

Restaurants will always need humans to get the food, cook and serve it, and people to manage the whole thing.

Construction workers are the most secure jobs, never ever going away.

Always will need people operating your large cranes, forklifts, etc.

So like I said, all those jobs are 100% secure from being completely eliminated by AI.

You’re welcome.

Of these three, only band director has a chance.

You’re delusional. AI will never replace live orchestras and bands, and the people that play in them and conduct them will never be replaced by AI. Never. Those are some of the oldest professions.

It's not that people are completely eliminated, it's that the job becomes very downgraded -- either requires no particular skill/expertise --or a lot fewer people to do the job than before.

It is already technically possible now not to use live bands for performances and recordings. The reasons we still have them are mostly unrelated to technology.

Just pick any job and be willing to be flexible and learn/make pivots. Don’t try to predict the future.

What about these jobs:
Policy wonk
Politician/elected
Prek-12 teacher
Nonprofit jobs - fundraisers, advocates, communications, etc (though i work in this sector and can see AI taking a huge bite, like AI writing emails and social media)
Novelist/playwright etc
Journalist
Psychologist
Climate scientist
Public health jobs
Entrepreneur/manufacturing small business - eg like a bottled food company

Yes, but that was already a profession where only the elite performers compete for limited spots and are generally compensated poorly (with a few compensated very, very well).
