There will always be jobs for someone who isn't afraid to get dirty. There will never be a robot that can un-shit a septic system.

I’m not sure I buy that. There is no reason machines can’t deal with this stuff, it’s purely mechanistic. There’s nothing about a septic system maintenance that requires philosophy of mind.

Are you really sure about that?

Are you super certain that our intellectual procedures are really above of what even 200 further years or AI advancement can achieve?

In my question, I didn't specify a timeline, because I have no idea of one. But however long it takes for AI to achieve the impossible, that's where I want you to go. :)

I think AI is going to change our world in ways we can't predict. However, I do think there is something about human cognition that I feel would be really hard to replicate with a computer or advanced AI. So much of our drive to "create" is born from need--AI has no need and so that drive doesn't exist. If I have a problem, my brain will begin crunching on that problem because I really need to solve it and I really want to solve it and solving it will make me feel good. I don't think AI will ever have that.

Similarly, our breadth of experience is constantly being turned over and reexamined in our brains which leads to situations where two unconnected ideas lead to inspiration and discovery ( bad, but not bad example is the end of the show Silicon Valley).

Why would we still have septic systems? It’s wasteful and a vector for disease.
