Reply to comment by [deleted] in I sometimes fear that AI will wipe out the active joys of mankind. by AdeptInspector7210

What are they? Honestly curious. 1 category I can think of is really important jobs that we don't trust an AI to do (yet) like politician and army general.

And I'm not sure how necessary computer scientists and software developers will be, maybe AI will write their own code?

Scientists, Artists, Politicians, Philosophers, Engineers.

Make no mistake AI will be able to do these jobs just as well as humans if not better, but these positions will probably always have a place for human participation. At some point in the future, we may get bored of AI art and want to see something painted, composed, or written by a human.

Likewise, while AI will be able to design a machine for you based on given parameters, it would struggle to initiate novel ideas of its own e.g. an AI might design a fusion reactor by itself but it's probably not going to design a foot massaging machine or hotdog oven.

There's always going to be a place for creative human input, but skilled and menial labour will become the domain of automation. Even surgeons, firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and soldiers aren't safe in their employment.
