if you think that AI is not going to be able to augment the thing you're doing in whatever role you hold right now - whatever career path and profession - that is called cope that probably sucks for a lot of people! it sucked for me! but learning and adapting here really is key

Let me know when it swings a hammer

robots started replacing people in hammer-swinging bolt-twisting rivet-punching jobs, like, several decades ago the ones that remain are the ones that are tough to automate and, unironically, will probably be among the last to be automated

not even out of impossibility, out of the fact that your robots have to be capable and very very very cheap to compete with human workers making $25/hr or whatever

do also consider that you can also outsource it for $5/hr (or less) before you get the machine that'll do it at the equivalent of $20/hr.

yeah I avoided pointing out that robots could replace good union jobs in the trades long before they replace cheap unlawful migrant/trafficked construction labor because that is way more Discourse™ than I want for a chill Friday evening
