What Occupation Won't Be Replaced by Robot in 20 to 30 Years?

With the development of AI and its integration with the machines I believe many of the repetitive jobs and even some creative jobs will be gone. So what occupations do you think that will stay in 20 to 30 years? Just want to make some plans for next generation, either boys or girls.

China has two feet dancing robot, US has autonomous taxi …

My two cents would be teacher, surgeon, cook/chef.

        Feedback mechanisms imply the people giving the feedback are capable of giving the nuanced advice necessary to make the changes and improvements, though. But these are the consumers, not the creators and that sort of stuff is above their abilities and pay grade.

        Anyone can say "soup tastes bad" and send it back to the kitchen. What can the chef do with that feedback?

    If we keep pumping out humans to feed capitalism as per now, AI will speed up the collapse of that current capitalist model.Especially when the smoke & mirrors crypto is thrown into the mix.

    You know those really tiny prawns you see in things like fried rice? Every single one of them is peeled by hand. There is no machine that peels them.

    I think extracting crab meat from the shell is also done by hand as is shucking oysters. Bugtails too. Lobster.

    Will AI be able to clean, gut and skin a fish? Even an Emperor, tuna or salmon?

    We haven't invented machines to do that stuff yet, how IS AI going to enter those markets?

    Will AI be able to throw pizza dough into air and spin it around etc to stretch it out?

    How about a chicken plucker?

      Many of the machines in factories and farms were all done by hand, and over time, the laborious, repetitive, manual tasks that could be automated, … have been.

      This was all in the pursuit of profit (ie. chasing money), safety, reducing manual labour, and so on.

      The AI component is more of a threat, because a significant amount of brain-work, can be automated and done without human error and take no sick days and produce output 24/7, etc.

      Amazon is already using amazing technology to fulfil all of our orders in the warehouses, and there are minimal humans involved, but they are not paid well either.

      So, Australia is going to get a rude shock, because our standard of life and work-life balance, is off the back of worker's rights, but these workers will need to have solidarity against this threat.

      The ruling class already know that jobs suddenly disappearing, will create massive upheaval and protests in society, so perhaps they've started replacing citizen jobs with imported immigrants,…and then eventually, they'll replace the immigrant jobs with AI (and deport the immigrants back, which is now being normalized by Trump's Executive Orders…at the advice of said ruling class).
      This is the non-sudden, slow-burn way of replacing jobs with AI.

        Not many people are talking about this. I only know a few select Substack authors, Dr VA Shiva, myself and you who have even come to this realisation. Not enough people have the realistic perspective that this 4th industrial revolution is going to make most people perma-redundant and unable to support themselves or their families, nor the reality that the ruling class are not going to perma- support them with welfare or UBI. The question that the ruling classes have almost certainly already asked themselves is "what to do with 7.5 billion useless eaters?". The answers to that question are very dark.
        I think you're absolutely correct that the influx of immigration into the Western world is to break the back of workers and neuter any solidarity. The West, where workers rights and individual rights came from, is the obvious place for resistance to the dark answers above, so that is the focus for breaking the workers.

        • Not many people are talking about this. I only know a few select Substack authors, Dr VA Shiva, myself and you who have even come to this realisation.

          Well, when you watch those Hollywood movies, and you see in the plot that nobody listens to that crazy, kooky,b bearded mad-hatter….but they all should have listened to that mad-hatter, because of the way things turned out, then you know this:
          when everyone is thinking the same, then nobody is thinking at all

          I know of Vandana Shiva, from ~20 years ago, but didn't realize she was talking about this.
          (Then again, I haven't been paying attention to her work / talks, for a very long time anyway )

          The question that the ruling classes have almost certainly already asked themselves is "what to do with 7.5 billion useless eaters?". The answers to that question are very dark.

          The glimpses to those answers were between 2020 - 2023.

          In 2017? 2018? … I had an acquaintance, who was in Sydney finishing off his Machine Learning [ML] Ph.D.
          I went to the ML Conference in Sydney with him, for one of those social gatherings, post-conference. He was telling me, that to an AI / ML model, if you feed it all the inputs, … and if you don't give it the essence of 'morals' behind its decision-making, it will literally answer "Kill all humans" as an answer to "How to stop global warming?"

          I mean, AI [Lavender] was being used by a Middle-Eastern country, to calculate what amount of death is "OK", when bombing the native people there:
          https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

          So, although AI is built and developed by humans, … if those humans do not preserve the original message of the creator within the invention , then those innovations are essentially a distortion and a perversion of the original message to mankind, and will only lead to the rapture.
          It's like the 'one' that knows everything is already telling the simpletons:
          "don't do this, or you'll end like up this"

          I think you're absolutely correct that the influx of immigration into the Western world is to break the back of workers and neuter any solidarity.

          Most countries in the world, do NOT have any immigration concept nor have "birth-right citizenship", ie. tribes of humans over centuries of time,…did not invite strangers into the tribe and make them "part" of their tribe easily.
          The tribe would liken them to be foreign 'invaders', just as a survival instinct.
          Humans had developed their own morality and survival code, from their own lived experience.
          Animals would never choose the dumbest animal to lead the pack.
          That's a survival instinct.

          If I was a manager of a team of 20 employees, then my survival instinct to remain the manager without any threats, would be to hire another few people with difficult personalities and join the group of 20,…and see enjoy the friction of these new hires in slowly fracturing any solidarity of those 20 employees.

          I think this is why some of the DEI initiatives were removed in the USA last month, because the elites probably realized that they won't have a capable, masculine army to defend the country called USA.

          Who knows…?!
          Lots of weird stuff has been happening for the last 5 years,…and it's really, really getting weird(er) too.

With current development speed without regulation, we are not far away from a big chaos. However, when the pandora box opened, to survive the situation we need hug AI. Now how to use, hack it. Make yourself valuable for big corporates or know how to hack it to destroy them.

      "Fully replicate"?
      Not yet, not now.

      However, the human qualities will slowly to be criticized, by the next generation of humans who will think the human qualities are signs of weakness, eg. it's a human quality to be empathetic or kind, but sociopaths keep getting voted in or becoming managers.

        Yeah, we may not need to fully replicate the current system but rather modify job requirements to integrate robots. However, it would be a drastic change, and I doubt it would be adopted peacefully. I think that once we realize robots are out of control, intelligent robots will eventually be banned and shut down globally. At that point, a hybrid approach will take over, where humans will be augmented or robotized, as humans are easier to control due to the "weaknesses" you mentioned.

      Law? We already have AIs that can pass the Bar.

      Religion? Probably safe, as it relies on a cult of personality. AI can't replicate that except… people already idolize computer creations. Hatsune Miku is a good example.

      Media & Journalism? AI is already replacing copywriters and basic boring reporting on things like sports results. It will only expand.

      Luxury goods? Safe from AI. People happily pay $5k for a $100 handbag, and will continue to do so.

      Gaming & e-sports? AI runs rings around humans in most games. Also it's worth noting the top maybe 0.001% of gamers make money on e-sports. The rest are wannabe hopefuls.

        CyberCab was promised for 2027, so in the real world it's likely to be 2033 or later.

        Still, any job as a driver is on borrowed time. You will be made redundant sooner or later.

  • Some types of entertainer. e.g. People don't want to watch a computer play a game with a generated voice commentary on twitch or youtube, it's the kind of thing which only makes sense if it's a human doing it.

  • I always find it amusing as people try to justify professional X or y as not possible for robots to do. If it is manual labour or set decisions it is just a matter of time whether that is brain surgery or fixing a pipe in the roof. That includes builders and tradies as no what they do is not complex for a robot. Soft skills will be last to go. But as with all revolutions what we do will simply evolve

    • -1

      Actually you may be surprised to hear that a lot of surgery, especially delicate procedures like brain surgery is often performed by robots and overseen by the surgeon.

      • +1

        It's not performed by robots. A surgeon uses robotic tools in the same way you push a pedal to make your car move. There is no robot deciding what to do.

        • -1

          Today, the surgeon guides the robot, but despite calling it robot "assisted" surgery the robot makes all the fine motor decisions, as a human cannot handle the complexity. Complexity was the point being made by Gromit.

          So from a future perspective, entirely viable the human could be dropped. With AI advanced in medicine, also likely far less surgery will be required.
          Absolute mind boggling the drugs entirely conceived by AI being evaluated as candidates.

          Clinical trials is being transformed on it's head.

          • +1

            @UltimateAI: Do you have a source for this robot that makes fine motor decisions during surgery? The surgeon is controlling the robot in every example I have seen. A stapler isn't the same as performing surgery. Is an electrical drill an AI screwdriver?

            Structure activity relationships have been a feature of designing drugs for decades. Using machine learning to find a matching drug candidate for a model of a receptor is a very straightforward progression. This is rebranding machine pattern matching as AI to make it sound more impressive, it isn't the same as AI superintelligence. This is a good example of where AI improves output without replacing humans, like an accountant using Microsoft Excel

  • +1

    I think soft skills are more endanger, mostly because there are already "bad" implementations that are likely to improve over time. Are online pyschologists a replacement to a real one today? No, but they do exist.

    We cant say the same for many things that require hands on. Yes, there are things that have been automated but they still require very controlled environments, or theyre in robust environments where failure isnt critical.

    Jobs like surgeons, tradies, cleaners, will still be safe from AI, but how well they pay will still be affected by supply and demand. With lots of people potentially losing their jobs to AI, they might move into these industries. You might have a job, but they pay might not be as good as it is now.

    I do think that everybody is eventually going to be replaced by robots, but i think thats at least 50 years off. Despite seeing some really convincing robots today (eg vaccuum), theres nothing yet thats as adaptive as a human. Once we seeing convincing robot "assistants" in peoples homes, that will be the start of it.

    • I can totally see psychologists being replaced, we are already phone addicted and the AI for wellbeing will only get better.

        • It’s already a struggle to disconnect, it’s only going to get worse. Problem is, we get so many little dopamine hits from screens it’s like a drug. It takes a strong and exceptional human being to step outside the comfort zone of modern tech

    The process isnt complete replacement - at least at the start. Thats why humanoid robots are the big development atm. So the things an apprentice often starts with will be done by a slow limited robot that will learn and share across a network. So pretty quickly tradies start to thin out - and start using them for more and more things.

    Happening already with AI for lawyers, seems well advanced for journalists. Current surgery robots will get a 'close up' feature, Cognitive Therapists initially will work with you - then pass you to an AI in an accetable form to you to do other stuff. You lease a slow, limited robot that does a lot of bits and pieces that gets continually upgraded.

    So the process is well underway folks and its almost never going to be a binary. And I really can't think of a profession that won't be affected.

    I'm waiting for the conversation with my robot.. 'Take me to the toilet… Too late Pete, but no worries - I'll sort you out.'

  • Any job with care, in 20-30 years, probably none left

  • Potentially the wrong question, I think the big question is it's seriously looking like in 40 years, 90% of the population won't need to work.
    While beyond my life, it will be interesting where purpose, self-worth will come from given for many their identities and value comes from corporate life.

    Perhaps Sci-Fi sheds some insight into our future…

    Will money be required?
    Will we value arts and creativity more?
    Higher value on friends\family\social life?
    Will we place higher value on education and self improvement?
    Will be become space explorers and spend generations drifting in space?

    Or will society collapse… real pity I won't be around to see it.

    More seriously though, robot development is freaking ridiculously expensive, and trying to hit viable levels of reliability becomes an exponential cost. We aren't likely to see full scale replacement of human labour in our lifetimes. Multipliers, sure, so there will be less of a lot of jobs, but even factory production lines (the most robotic of human endeavours) still involve a lot of human oversight and input. The fact we have food and drink robots hasn't eliminated the cook or barista jobs, it just made them more unskilled positions and lowered their pay. Starbucks hasn't used manual machines for years, but they still have people working inside. Even with all the replacement stuff Maccas is doing they still have minwage meatsacks.

    There will also be significant resistance from anything with a powerful union - we can see that with trains here in Australia already, they grabbed a solid 20 years of extended life to their dying industry through the union. Police robots won't be a thing as long as the police union is strong, any robotic emergency services for that matter. Try and get a robot answering 000 calls and all the human 000 operators will threaten a strike and kill it dead. School teachers, construction, truck drivers, mining - they won't hold it back forever, but I doubt we'll see a wholesale conversion while anybody here is still alive.

    The stuff that is getting replaced right now isn't physical work, it's thinking and writing work. Accountants are megaboned, copy writers and translators as well. Lawyers would have been, but they did the protection thing and are now in a similar situation to the cops. Interestingly helpdesk got a resurgence in local humans - not because AI can't do it, but because AI has replaced the offshore helpdesk. It's cheaper to employ a couple of locals to handle the stuff the AI can't, rather than manage the contracting and risk for offshore when the human component has become so small. That spike might be very short-lived, but one that is likely to stick around is the spike in face-to-face sales. The internet destroyed it, AI is bringing it back. You can be VERY successful at marketing when you break out of the corporate AI cesspit of the internet, that's why Mecca and similar places have a whole bunch of people to sell you stuff - a human body in front of you is powerful enough to outcompete the marketing of the AI generated tik tok influencer.

    Artists are largely dead as a career choice, because while yes, some people will want real human art, the money-makers for up and coming artists are gone. Corporate doesn't give a crap, so the entry level pay for new artists to stay alive is gone. The ones who can do it as a career will be limited to the ones who don't need a career in the first place - rich kids and people who marry rich, basically. The small number of human art enthusiasts aren't enough to sustain an industry.

    • Not disagreeing with you, but have you seen the insane police robots in China. (they still have police), but friggin rolling drones that throw nets and fire stun guns.

        They exist to some extent, sure, but I wouldn't put any faith in the optics. If China had a truly competitive robotics industry we'd be seeing less visibility and more utility out of them, but we don't. Something that can perform for a promo video is easy, something that can stay useful for the right amount of $$$ in actual use is definitely not. People look at companies like DJI and think China is leading the pack - that's just because DJI is right up at the leading edge for Chinese drones yet is very open to selling cheap to randoms. The leading edge for US drones is so far away from the consumer space you'd get shot if you tried to walk into the building.

        Japan has had automated food for many, many years - I would say because they don't need to deal with the same issues as elsewhere. The effort Japanese vending machines put into automation and generally being awesome, Western vending machines had to spend pretty much 100% on people trying to steal from them or break them. Same with the restaurants, sushi train and similar systems have been a thing forever there, because people take a thing, eat a thing, and pay for a thing. Western versions need a bunch of humans out and about staring at thieves, at 'try it and put it back' filthy people, at prick teenagers trying to break the mechanism, etc. The engineering pressures just aren't there. You can see the closest I've seen in largescale production in Australia at the Maccas at Sydney international airport - they have a robotic system for moving orders from an upstairs production room down to the restaurant itself - it only works because it's miles up in the air, behind glass, and with airport security everywhere. Stick that somewhere without serious oversight, or in easy reach, and the system collapses within a day.

        The Luddites (who used to break textile manufacturing machines when they were new, among others) will see a resurgence for sure. Homemade EMP devices or hand-held tesla coils for destroying robots will be quite popular, I suspect. Workforce replacement robots will need to be built like tanks to survive the early years.

  • When AI works out how to make autonomous robots then no job is safe.

  • Buy shares in the automation and AI companies. Better to be part of the ownership class than hoping government can implement a UBI because whole sectors of the economy have become redundant.

    • What happens when 30%+ of the workforce is redundant and by the time they reskill to something else they are capable of the AI and robots have already overtaken that too? Who feeds them or funds their housing? How will the profitability of the customers of the automation and AI companies look once so many people aren't buying sh*t anymore because they're perma-redundant?

  • Honestly, I think the rate of “job replacements” will be way lower than people think.

    They said we would have self driving cars by now, and they still feel years away.

    • Waymo has been driving around San Francisco for years and generally has a good record, but yes, the roll out is very slow. Musk's predictions about using your Tesla 3 by 2020 to earn $30k a year as an autonomous taxi were obviously ridiculous. Their cars are not allowed to operate without a driver on public roads anywhere in the world, and chances are that won't change for years.

      But it is coming. I would say in 20 years time the job of a taxi driver will not exist, except for special vehicles where the passenger requires assistance to board.

  • I think a nurse couldn't be replaced by AI - too much empathy and intuition needed, being able to physically care and attend to someone's needs.

    A GP on the other hand absolutely could. Essentially its just feeding an input to your GP (symptoms, prior medical history, etc) and then outputting some treatment. Which with GP's here that I go to is usually "here take these antibiotics" or "stay hydrated and get some rest" lol.

    A good book on this subject is 21 lessions for the 21st century.

    • For simple problems a doctor could be replaced by ChatGPT, but I'd like to see an AI examine a patient for breast or prostate cancer.

        AI girlfriends/boyfriends might become a fad for a while, but i think the human brain is ultimately looking for a physical connection.

        Like orcas in a tank, we don't do well confined and isolated.

        The main problem is that most of us don't realise what is currently happening online, and therefore wont be prepared for the status quo to come crashing down.

        /end conspiracy theory (except time will prove me right).

          Smart ppl know what's going on, and what will happen.The problem is the outcomes will be based on the larger non smart cohort enabling the outcome via ignorance and apathy.
          It's not a conspiracy.It's a work in progress.Shit will certainly implode, and the ovine mobs won't have the tools to fix their mess when it has comprehensively fallen off a cliff.The dominoes will fall where either the rich and poor gap is most prevalent, where oligarchs butt up against high unemployment(USA for one) and where there's already chaotic or dysfunctional regimes. Conspiracies in the more passive countries will still outgrow reality because the net has no borders and low IQs are easily smothered. So even safe haven countries will have an underground culture of wrecking balls to battle with. It's popcorn time.

          • @Protractor: So many factors.

            Assuming the internet and AI physically live, they are incredibly power hungry.

            Poorly run regimes with conspiracy theorists and people in power that prefer to line their pockets over investing in infrastructure, won't have the energy availability to power the "new" internet.

            Oh and the new undersea data cable warfare currently happening…. Wouldn't be surprised if president Musk accidentally funds some ships dragging their anchors, which in no way benefits Starlink.

            I need to find a way to disenfranchise my parents from consuming FakeAI trash online, i saw one earlier with a bunch of kids petting a Polarbear which looked very real.

            • @AnotherRedLight: If you parents are that far down the rabbit hole, let them go.
              Find a horse that's willing to drink instead.

    Hey Siri, can you build me a house?
    Hey Siri, can you fix that leak under the wash basin?
    Hey Siri, can you fight a war for me?
    Hey Siri, can you help give birth to my child?
    Hey Siri, can you pull out that wisdom tooth that's been bugging me the past 2 weeks?
    Hey Siri, can you write me a song that's guaranteed to be in the Triple J and Spotify Top 100 lists?
    Hey Siri, can you brew me a beer?
