Jobs that AI won’t replace?

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? |

Translated: “my kid is wayyyyyyy too stupid for anything like that. She broke the TV remote trying to replace the batteries.” Yeah, we know exactly what “Larla’s too gifted for something menial like that” means

Do you not realize robotic surgery has been a thing for over a decade? Similarly, how many associate lawyers can be purged out of doc-review boiler rooms by CHAT GTP, which can give document synopsis in literally seconds compared to some associate spending all day reading? You don’t appear very well informed. |

Pffffft, you’re probably like most of my kid’s teachers and didn’t want to return to the classroom after 2-3 years of “remote learning”. A robot could definitely teach kids as well as any of those fools we had to suffer during the pandemic. |

Good one! But you have to come downstairs eventually.

SO I asked AI:
"Jobs least likely to be replaced by AI involve high levels of human interaction, creativity, emotional intelligence, and complex physical tasks in unpredictable environments. These include: Healthcare professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, therapists): Require empathy, nuanced judgment, and hands-on care. Teachers and educators: Demand personal connection, motivation, and adapting to individual student needs. Creative artists (e.g., writers, musicians, designers): Rely on unique human expression and originality. Skilled trades (e.g., plumbers, electricians, carpenters): Involve complex, context-specific tasks in varied settings. Social workers and counselors: Depend on deep emotional understanding and trust-building. Strategic leaders (e.g., CEOs, policymakers): Need vision, ethical judgment, and high-stakes decision-making. Research scientists: Require innovative thinking and hypothesis-driven experimentation. While AI can augment these roles (e.g., diagnostic tools in healthcare or automation in trades), full replacement is unlikely due to the human-centric or unpredictable nature of the work. Jobs with repetitive, data-driven tasks (e.g., basic data entry, routine customer service) face higher risk of automation." |

Robotics is light years behind AI |

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. |

This one is tricky and in theory AI can greatly benefit established/famous creatives..and possibly make it harder for new people to break in. There is a famous screenwriter who just said AI does an amazing job of coming up with film ideas and writing film treatments. Someone like that could have AI come up with 100s of ideas, decide on 10 they think are best, have AI write 10 treatments, do some editing and then send those off to production companies, understanding likely one will get picked up because who they are. Also, Coca Cola just created a series of AI-generated commercials that required like 1/10 the normal number of creatives that traditional commercials require, not to mention saving tons on production costs. People claimed they weren't great...but does the average person buying Coca Cola care that much? I don't think so. |

| Research scientist sounds good for OP's daughter. It means that she will have to continue on to graduate school, but that is totally possible. |

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. |
