Jobs you think AI's and robots will replace.

Ai's and robots are going to have an enormous impact on life going forward.
Some of those changes we are already seeing, and some are not far off.
Doctors, lawyers, mechanics, therapists, home healthcare, factory work, and the list is almost endless.

We grew up in a time where almost everything was done by humans, or humans using machines, However, most of it was manual work. That is now changing, and very rapidly.

What are jobs you think AI and robots will fill that humans were always needed for in the past?
Will it be a good thing or bad in your view?

I would think that some jobs requiring human instinct and very rapid response to changing situations might be off the table. Emergency responders and crisis situations require instant response to rapidly changing conditions. Even something that seems as simple as basketball requires extremely rapid reaction to the changing environment, and also reading what your opponent is likely to do next.

Also situations that require empathy and compassion might be hard for an AI to replicate, at least in a way that would register as genuine with humans who are going through difficulties. I think there is something about the human touch in even something as simple as a hug that would be hard to replace. JMO

I agree, however I don't think that much of that will be taken into consideration when it comes to saving money
 
I have read that AI is now being used quite often as legal assistants. They can crunch large amounts of data in past cases, search for anomalies, do research, and even formulate debates from any viewpoint. Whether they could replace a lawyer in the future, my guess would be I think it's possible. Most everything in that field is based on information, paperwork, and laws.

Even so, it would be rather interesting to witness a court case with two AI robots pitted against each other. Then throw in an AI robot judge, and it would certainly be something fascinating to watch.
 
I think one of the biggest markets will be in-home care for seniors. From opening a stubborn pickle jar, to picking you up or calling 911 if you've fallen, doing dishes, laundry, making a bed, cleaning, conversation and keeping you company, moving things, and a host of other chores, it seems like opportunity knocking for companies that have the technology.
 
Meta and other tech companies are dumping mid level computer programmers by the thousands. Entry level programmers will face a large challenge as they will have to compete with mid level programmers at the lower pay scale.

Software engineers also need to be AI experts so they can effectively use prompts to get AI to generate code. Those who don't embrace AI are going to be left behind. I think for a while, software architects will still be in demand since AI has difficulty with that aspect of software development.
 
I don't have a problem with AI, but I think the hype is over blown as usual. People tend to believe everything new. AI is dependent on humans and raw materials. Plus the human brain and body will always adapt faster. We are made for life.

AI will replace God and the practitioners of all spiritual teachings.
 

"Jobs you think AI's and robots will replace."​


A Professional Procrastinator. Why put things off yourself when you can get an AI Robot to put things off for you? Just think how much time can be saved by not having to worry about our own lack of productivity. Get an AI Robot to worry about it on our behalf.

A professional Online Meetings robot, that can take business meetings on my behalf. I wouldn't have to be left in the awkward position of pretending I've got a professional interest in the content of the meeting I was forced to attend. A meeting where often no one is paying attention anyway. I wouldn't have to pretend I'm taking notes on a notepad that is just off-screen, whereas in reality, I'm just doodling on a piece of scrap paper.

An Online AI Opinion Specialist, where AI Robots will take the job of giving us their extremely strong and over the top opinion about literally anything, even when you didnā€™t ask for it. And where half of the forum wasn't interested in it anyway, and the other half couldn't even be bothered to read it.

I may have mentioned this before, but I hesitate to label it strictly as AI. For many years, medical imaging has harnessed the power of scanners, particularly in breast imaging, to detect tumors. One device that comes to mind is the R2 scanner. This piece of technology, equipped with sophisticated software, searches for minute tumor indicators. It's been in use for over two decades, and I am confident that the software has evolved significantly since then.

Similarly, I foresee AI encroaching upon the roles traditionally held by paralegals. The task of searching for legal case precedents is particularly well-suited to the capabilities of AI, making it a likely candidate for automation.
 
AIs are already taking over doctor's offices in my area and that is causing a lot of trouble. Frankly, I feel in some cases, it's very dangerous. Also, call the office and no one answers all too often. Doctors are not getting messages, faxes, etc. I am livid over this.
 
AI and robotics have the potential to take over millions of jobs...and not too far into the future. Any "routine" office work that does not require direct contact with a customer will be the first to go. Manufacturing assembly lines may see robotics doing 90% of the work. In a few years, it may be very hard for many to find a job.

That is something that concerns me.

Over the years automation has taken a toll on many jobs for things like elevator operators, gas station attendants etcā€¦ and now we are seeing jobs for cashiers, bank tellers, and others gradually disappearing.

It wonā€™t be long before truck drivers, bus drivers, and many others in the transportation industry are obsolete.

I understand the theory that automation and AI should free humans to do more interesting and exciting things but Iā€™m afraid that an unintended consequence will be many more people on some form of public assistance.

Do everything you can to impress upon those you love the need to develop marketable skills in order to compete and thrive in this new world.
 
Yeah, I think there is a strong risk that the benefits would go to a small elite and their pet "creatives" pushing the vast majority of humanity to subsisting on a meager dole stretched quite thin and packed into warrens in the big cities.

East Side Mario's here, use robots to deliver food orders to the table, though are assisted by a waitress. They use them for clearing away dishes as well.

We have a couple of restaurants that I know use these. Theyā€™re amusing, once. I donā€™t know how much they cost. Theyā€™re basically just a rolling tray and the server puts the food on the table. Online chat has said the server often gets a smaller tip. Why tip a machine.

I think care for seniors is one thing that canā€™t be replicated by a machine
 
Most likely if they fall, they will break. So flying is out, along with operating an Elevator.
They won't work well, will lose operational excellence in extreme Heat and Cold, so those
temps are out. They will like most all indoor jobs so stay at home is in effect here.

LEO Jobs, Tax Collector Jobs, Post men mail delivery, Door to door salesmen are in.
Dealing with humanity will drive them crazy so Drug dealers are in.

Obviously most politically appointed or elected jobs are safe. It will take a bit for
Elon to realize its driving him crazy.
