the commercials are advertising "chat with a live CPA" while doing you returns. If I was a CPA and had to work a help desk, that would suck.

Good luck getting a robot to use professional judgment to do your taxes and/or audit.

yea thats goofy. Teachers are not getting replaced......you think a 12-15 year old is gonna willingly get their "school work" done without an adult staring at them making them do it? Think the parents are gonna take on that responsibility? Hahahahahaha thats hilarious most parents wont even monitor what the kids are doing at school much less make sure they actually do it on their own. The role of the classroom teacher is fast changing from teacher to facilitator though and that may very well continue as classrooms become more tech focused to the point the teacher is more just there to maintain discipline and make sure the work is done vs actually teaching anything. Which like I said is already happening to a fairly significant degree

It isn’t that entire professions will go away but many of the jobs within those professions will, thus rendering many unemployed or severely underemployed. And it is already happening. It will certainly get worse.
The world is changing fast and the change is only going to pick up steam. There are many professions that will undergo upheaval and there will be many societal, political and economic repercussions.
Just as the industrial revolution changed our world, so will this one. The difference is that the industrial revolution took a couple of generations. This one is happening in a couple of decades.

d have to imagine some tax accountants have already been displaced by products like turbotax online no?


Eh. They would just adapt. High net worth individuals aren’t using turbo tax. Corporations aren’t using turbo tax. Tax is a pretty varied field.

Most of our jobs/careers will be gone in 10 years. Learn some hobbies and a cottage industry now, it will be needed.

Automation is going to hit blue collar jobs sooner and have a bigger societal impact. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out when things like the trucking industry remove most if not all human labor.

It would be years before the following jobs would be greatly reduced much less replaced. I can see a reduction to an extent, but like you said a human will always be needed.

Logistics
Purchasing
Warehouse Management
Inventory Control
Category Management
