But they can't cook multiple dishes at the same time, 60-70 times in 3-4 hours consistently. That's what makes you a good cook. And just merely a good cook, not great.
It's too much to handle. Too much stress. Standing up for 8 hours, high temperatures, thinking about 6 tasks and doing them at the same time, with more rolling in.
Robots + AI will be able to do this

In theory, why would you need sales reps with AI?

Yeah. I'm not sure why blue collar people think that they won't feel the effects of this

AI is going to create businesses tools to make account and business development managers much more effective in their jobs and help create the data that companies need. I don't see it as a threat to salespeople.

Yall bout to find out what goes on outside and you wont like it
Technology has been replacing blue collar jobs at a much quicker pace, for about 70 years, than it is replacing white collar jobs today, and technology has created almost as many new blue collar jobs as it has eliminated. AI is nothing but the latest technology. The "pretend" fear associated with AI is nothing new either....folks have been terrified by technology since the dawn of time....yet every time something new comes along life is changed for the better.

The day AI can be thrown under the bus is the day this claim may become true. The deeper I get into my career, the more I realize my job, as with most professional jobs, is outsourcing decision-making, responsibility and liability.

In theory, the higher echelon of white collar can't go away, but that's a very small % of the total.
Like what we're seeing with tech. AI can do basic coding or debugging when given the prompt, but the prompts, architecture, creativity and design, etc come from humans. But a huge chunk of the workforce has been let go, and, in theory, as AI builds more of the baseline, fewer workers will be required as you move up the levels.
On a lesser level, any professional/white collar job that bills hourly is about to face a reckoning, and the question there will be if society has enough work for an efficiently leveraged model.

Sure. However what happens in 30 years when all your experienced knowledgeable workers are retired or dead?
The "basic" work has value in giving the next gen reps to learn and get experience.
How can you expect someone to review or sign off on work they themselves have never gotten their hands dirty doing?
The copium in the next decade from big corpos will be "we can't find experienced people".
Well no shite you retards offshored and automated away every bit of the lower level work that you train younger people on.
The Tech Bro utopia that is being unleashed is a dystopian hellscape that is hostile to humans.

That was the argument for offshoring mundane factory and manufacturing jobs. I remember Bush saying that, at the time, ‘we don’t know what these jobs will be, but America always leads the way’ or some shite.
We never replaced those jobs.
It ain’t just AI. It’s robots and self driving too.
Just because any individual job can’t be replaced by a genius robot who can work 23 hours a day, doesn’t mean your job won’t be affected. Yeah 99% of white collar workers can’t manage a busy kitchen but that leaves thousands in every city who can. Not to mention the drop in demand when these workers stop getting a paycheck.

Microsoft AI chief executive Mustafa Suleyman said that artificial intelligence can replace most white-collar work in the 12 to 18 month
Not sure how 18 months turned into 5 years.
Of course we all know it is bullshite sales, and in 18 months they will be saying 18 months

You're proving his point.
We never replaced those shitty manufacturing jobs with other shitty manufacturing jobs, and, instead, we created many better manufacturing jobs and other, better non-manufacturing jobs.

Sounds like your reps suck at their jobs

And we left huge swaths of destruction and despair all across our beautiful country in its wake.
Not saying we should fight against AI or robots but at the very least, the AI revolution will create a chasm that will need to be crossed. It may well be all rainbows and unicorns on the other side but not everyone is going to make it across.

AI was never designed to do blue collar work-those companies aren't interested in the technology.
AI can replace jobs that are easily commodified, many of the same jobs that could be shipped overseas to low-skilled masses that are willing to do a job for pennies of the dollar and are grateful for it. If your white collar job involves little else but data entry, its been on the chopping block just as much as assembling a BigMac.
