This is why I want to learn robotics and software programming. Someone has to operate the robots, right?

Nope, as AI systems currently learn to program basic software itself. AI systems will basically take away "entry/medium" level of non-physical jobs, jobs requiring only a certain amount of training, study or education.

If you are a code wizard, a masterful painter or Skynet level administrator or a 1000 USD/hour law juggler, then your job will be safe.

If you are "only" a professional CS agent, able to speak two languages, handle multiple different payment system and able to diagnose a hundred different payment troubles from several dozen countries ... your job is on the chopping block.

1000$/h lawyer isn't safe at all.

AI lawyers are easy and will be everywhere

Those bullshit jobs will be automated first. Because AI would create customized profiles for each judge, optimized how to deceive them into deciding what the client paid for.

This technique, the tailored attorneys designed specifically for that moron boomer who thinks he can judge, will therefore learn from his previous decisions exactly the phrases to employ to deceive them into making the right choice this time.

A painter is not safe at all, I can generate AI images by the thousands and use another AI to correct and fill in gaps without even lifting a brush. An AI generated art just won a competition and another human got discredited for art looking like AI generated art.

Now make one that is not printed from a computer, but with actual brush strokes visible on the canvas.

Same for painting a house by the way.

How many people that paint physical paintings actually make a living from it though. Like its all well and good that some things are harder to do for ai than others, but it doesnt really matter unless its a high demand thing.

Yes, automation really just shifts labor from hands on manufacturing to developing, building and maintaining automation.

And no, AI isn't coming for those jobs anytime soon. It's the age old catch 22 of automation. Automation is economical for volume production, but automation equipment is made in very small volumes so you can't automate automation very well.

Well, beckhoff is trying to get around that problem by making automation more of a lego, but it remains to be seen if it takes off and if it does, how much does it really reduce labor. Not by that much I'm thinking.
