How long until your industry is automated?

I’d estimate for my current team, 6-10 years. Even the tech guys aren’t going to be around much past that.
I’ve danced around the subject with my manager and they’re incomplete denial. I’ve talked with them about it before and they just don’t get it. They just say “do you think a machine can do what I do” and my initial thought is yes.
And no one is safe to a certain extent, white collar, blue collar, tech savvy or not.

What is it that you do? I am an electrician and I don’t see that becoming automated unless skynet goes online.

lawyer work is going to become primarily AI in probably 10 years, 20 tops
PI is going to die when driverless cars become the norm
transactional work is probably the first to really take a hit. they're screwed the worst
the lawyering that is going to remain stable is the lower level stuff that requires (1) unsophisticated clients and (2) direct service. divorce, custody, criminal, etc

How long before internet message boards are automated? THAT's the day you should fear.

Of course they do. That’s neither here not there.
I did eat at a resturant recently that only had one staff member open to the resturant. Everything else was auto-serve, auto pay. It was kinda creepy

The world will be a very scary place if my industry is automated.

Accounting is iffy. I think it can be automated, but forensic auditing and computer program auditing will not anytime soon.

That would be creepy. Just another way to take social interaction away from the people, while creating more problems.

Computers can run the numbers, but, at least what I do, there is too much decision making and analysis for it to be automated anytime soon, imo.

How long before we have to start taxing robots as if they are people making income? Is this already a thing?

I would say should be down to the design aspect but my company can not get shite right with tech we have and I do more than I show in Excel.
