I’m in the same dilemma. I honestly feel it’s insoluble because no job is safe in the advent of AGI. Seems to me it’s less a matter of “if” and more a matter of “when”. Best bet is maybe starting your own business and utilizing AI as a tool in that business.

Plumber. No ai is going to replace a plumber. Skip finance and economics, or do the public sector finance.

Source: currently using algorithms that do economic models for finance that will eventually be ai driven.

It’s true. I flip houses. I don’t know how you cost effectively get a robot to renovate old homes. Maybe parts of the exterior but inside? I’m not so sure. But then I’m no expert.

AI will replace some jobs and not others before it becomes AGI which might be never or hundreds of years. A better LLM is not AGI. AGI requires new algorithms and levels of abstraction that nobody has specifically defined.
