re: what jobs are “AI proof” and why?

My job, internal audit. We operate a lot in grey areas. AI will prolly get to a place where it can do a lot of the testing, but I don't see how it will completely take over those jobs.

Maybe, but I'll still believe it when I see it. There's entire graveyards full of supposed earth changing tech that crashed and burned once the initial luster wore off.

Self-driving vehicles are on the verge of eliminating millions of jobs. Knowledge workers in all fields are at risk right now. Customer service roles are being eliminated. Buildings are being 3d printed. Programmers I'm not so sure... AI eliminates the business need for many of them, but maybe soon we will need more programmers to understand and combat whatever the robots end up doing.
AI has been around for decades. Just because this current iteration seemingly works better than past versions doesn't mean it will necessarily cause a sea change in the workplace.
Look into the singularity and determine for yourself how close we might be to it.

Controller type work, too many judgement calls.

Make a living with your hands: your job is gone.

This seems a bit backwards to me. Marketing, accounting, finance, legal, IT, etc…AI is coming for you

I would say just the opposite, trade school grads will have demand

Somewhat ironically, lower-level skilled jobs that work directly with things.
The educated service/management class is the biggest risk.
Kind of like with lawyers, your "top level" guys are at the biggest risk and the scalawags at the bottom like SFP who work directly with lower class clients are the safest (there's a reason I steered to this route a few years ago)

We have been eliminating manual labor jobs for the entirety of civilization, starting with basic machines and animal labor and now into computer controlled precision equipment, but we are probably still a long ways away from automating many of the jobs that skilled hands can do. But knowledge workers are fricked. They are competing against the entirety of human knowledge wielded by computers that can put 2 and 2 together faster than they can.

I have a hard time seeing most engineering jobs disappearing, especially those in a role where you are acting a design capacity. I see AI as a tool that, if it evolved to hallucinate less, will and to some extent is currently a great tool for gaining efficiency on projects.
The problem with most generative language models right now is when they mess up writing code, they do it in ways that can either be hard to diagnose or so tedious to fix that you'd have been better off writing the code yourself. However, it does work as a sort of Stack Exchange on steroids and can make figuring out approaches to coding a project way faster.

Agree on this, especially the irony of it all.
I think the point is we can opine on this subject but if you rewind the clock ten years, almost all predictions on how the machine learning space would evolve were dead wrong, so I don't know how much weight to really put on predictions made now.
People would have predicted that white collar jobs and creative jobs like art and music creation were safe from automation, and art and white collar work were put squarely in the crosshairs a short time later.
