We may finally have good customer support chatbots, so I imagine a reduction in the number of customer support.

That said I struggle to see it replacing jobs that require a few months of training. I work for a multi-billion healthcare company and most of the cost savings/human labour reductions is done through traditional software practices. An administrative error can be horrendously expensive.

Healthcare is on the end of the spectrum where small mistakes have grave consequences (eben though human physicians make mistakes all the time). There are plenty of problem domains though that are a lot more resilient or can be made resilient to erroneous output, and those are significantly more likely to be displaced by AI.
