AI has already eliminated entry-level jobs, like cashiers, with self-service kiosks at McDonald's & Five Guys on the Westbank.
That’s not AI

It’s a lot cooler to say you cannot find gooooooood people as opposed to saying you cannot afford to pay anyone well.

AI ain't gonna dig them ditches though.

I remember similar comments during the dot com boom of the late 90s. I remember this hot young chick on the news talking about how Warren Buffet just didn’t get it and was being left behind. The assertion was people older than say… 45 were idiots.
I have never seen her again on tv. Meanwhile, Berkshire Hathaway is trading at $757,412 per share and 30 years later ole Warren has decided to retire.
I am a supporter of AI, crypto, and other innovations. However, the value of human capital will always dominate.

That’s exactly what AI and robotics are perfect for

Yes all engineering jobs. The robots and automation will be taking the field hands job.

If white collar workers don’t have jobs to pay blue collar workers, then they will suffer too.

We're a ways from that. I'll be dead before then.

I think it’s at least 50/50 that a lot of these type of jobs are a decade or less from being at least highly augmented by AI and robotics.

A lot of entry level white color work is easily replaceable today with AI. My first job was in consulting, and probably 15-20% of my job was reading and summarizing depositions for my boss. I used to think of it as “mindless work,” but someone had to do it, and as a fresh grad, I was the obvious choice. AI could do that work today. If you think that all entry level white collar positions have 15-20% “mindless work,” then new hires in that space will shrink 15-20%. With that said, I do think new roles will be created that we can even anticipate right now.

Mostly on the software development/coding and maybe lower tier helpdesk side. The rest of us have to keep all that shite running.
When AI can code better than any human it will also be capable of debugging its own code better than any human.
I think a lot of people are having a very difficult time grasping not just how impactful AI will be in the world in the near term, but how incredibly quickly it will snowball into something more powerful than we can even imagine.

Negative. We're a long ways away. We can automate alot but not nearly as much as you think.
If plumbers, Hvac, and electricians are safe, so is most manual labor.
I'm surprised Doctors exist. That can be automated right now. There's no reason for them when a robot can read symptoms and spit out a diagnosis and prescription.

The work associates are asked to do has definitely stepped up. Mistake experience. We just have more clients than we used to with the efficiencies created with things like OCR or machine learning.

The AI guys say this over and over. You’d think it’s true, but who knows

I’m not sure they’re that safe. Not in numbers anyway.

Medicine and health and wellness seems ripe for AI solutions, though doctors will always exist. Way to much psychology goes into empirical medicine.

That's manufacturing. It's not the same as digging a ditch then running pipe or wire to a home or office. We're a long ways off.

It’s happened with every other technological jump. I assume this one will be the same.
