Any physical job such as locksmithing, plumbing, carpentry, etc.

Why can’t robots like the ones being developed by Boston dynamics eventually do this stuff?

they could but not practical. helluva lot harder to build, operate and maintain a plumbing robot than to just hire a plumber

more expensive than humans will be, for now

They can, but that tech isn't getting practical applications for probably at least 60 years. Way too costly and not reliable as is, so it'll still make sense for companies to hire humans.

Eventually they may be, but that wasn’t the question. It was specifically about AI. It didn’t phrase the question about combining robots with it. I don’t think they’ll be able to get robots in combination with AI advanced enough to go these tasks in our life time.

5 years ago Cryto was supposed to collapse banking. 20 years ago the internet was supposed to kill small businesses. 40 years ago robotics was supposed to take the place of human workers.

Everytime new tech emerges people predict the that the sky is falling.

For every thing that becomes obsolete due to advances in technology, more jobs, businesses and opportunities are created based on that technology.

Well Crypto is sort of the stand-out there.

But the other two absolutely did happen. Amazon is still killing mom and pop shops. They're not dead, but they're severely reduced.

And Industrialization absolutely decimated the manufacturing industry. At least in the developed world.

So following that trend, will these AI models replace all humans? No, of course not.

But jobs that used to be covered by 10 copy-writers or whatever will instead be handled be 1 one guy who knows how to maintain the AI cluster. There will be reduction in once "safe" jobs.

Who maintains the robots? Who builds them? Who designs them?

I'm not saying it's shagnri la, I'm saying many other jobs are created to run and maintain the thing.

The problem is advances in technology replace low skill labor, and replaces it with high skill labor and education hasn't been keeping up. As a matter of fact, education is priced so far out of reach for so many people, that it creates a class system where only those who can afford it, gain the skills to get the new jobs.

It;s obviously more complex than that, but that's how I've seen it over the last 30 years.

That's great. But efficiency means less labor to achieve the same result. It happened in farming.

It will not take as many programmers to replace as many copywriters through their AI.

True, but this is a reality that goes back to the wheel, and permeates through the entire history of man on this planet.

Not the case with AGI. Everything you just mentioned did create jobs. But the vast majority of jobs created by AGI will be filled by AGI.

No. Google "technological singularity" for a deeper dive.

At this point, we can't know. Looking only to the technology it could replace most of the jobs, but tech is not the only aspect. Something will happen on politics to avoid that.

Similar to what happened to Google Glass in a way. Not comparing disrupcy, only that regulations made the thing being almost forgotten.

The nice thing about AIs smart enough to replace human labor is that they will be smart enough to find unique and creative ways to leverage the valuable resource that is human labor. It’s hard to predict what jobs will not be at risk that far out, but there’s a good chance that there will be many new jobs and types of jobs. Humans are cheap, figuring out how to profit off of their labor will likely still be valuable.

The future will learn how to make a way to exchange values.
