Sure but I’d wager they will be very expensive to make for a long time, especially if they are intelligent enough to create, trouble shoot, and then do the manual work. Seems like the carpenter would likely be cheaper for several decades at least.

Ahh this thread again where the OT will jerk off how awesome the trades are.

The ironic part being is almost no one on the OT actually works these trade jobs or wants their kids to work said jobs.

Carry on with the circle jerk.

What jobs would you recommend that are unlikely to be overtaken by AI in the next 30 years?


While AI and automation are rapidly advancing, there are certain types of jobs that are less likely to be completely overtaken by AI in the next 30 years. These typically involve human creativity, empathy, complex problem-solving, and physical dexterity. Here are some recommendations:

- **Marketing and Branding Experts**: Developing strategies that require emotional resonance and cultural understanding.

---

Jobs requiring empathy, nuanced decision-making, and human touch.
- **Doctors and Surgeons**: Especially in specialties like pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery requiring hands-on skills.
- **Nurses and Caregivers**: Emotional intelligence and physical caregiving are irreplaceable.
- **Therapists and Counselors**: Emotional connection and understanding human behavior cannot be automated.

---

### **3. Skilled Trades**
Jobs requiring physical dexterity, adaptability, and problem-solving in dynamic environments.

Strategic roles requiring vision, ethics, and adaptability.
- **CEOs and Executives**: Driving innovation and making complex decisions.

---

### **8. Community and Cultural Roles**
Roles preserving cultural heritage and community connection.
- **Historians and Archivists**: Preserving and interpreting human history.
- **Cultural Anthropologists**: Studying and understanding societies.
- **Event Planners**: Creating meaningful human experiences.

---

### **9. Entrepreneurship**
Entrepreneurs who innovate and adapt to change will remain relevant.
- **Small Business Owners**: Providing unique, localized services.
- **Tech Startups**: Innovating in ways that AI cannot foresee.
- **Creative Ventures**: Developing novel products and services.

---

### **10. Emergency and Safety Roles**
Critical jobs requiring quick thinking in unpredictable situations.
- **First Responders**: Paramedics, firefighters, and police officers.
- **Disaster Relief Workers**: Coordinating aid and responding to emergencies.

### **Why These Jobs Are Safer from AI**
- They require **human qualities** like creativity, empathy, and intuition.

By investing in developing these skills and choosing industries that align with these traits, you can future-proof your career against AI advancements.
