- c0pium 3y agoEvery profession thinks this. Doctors, lawyers, plumbers, chefs, tour guides, carpenters. Some jobs are actually likely to be automated away, but most jobs have a last 5-10% that’s non-obvious and very hard to automate.
- lxgr 3y agoMaybe so, but on the way there, 95% of IT personell will have been made redundant long before many manual labor jobs. Existing manual labor jobs are what’s left after industrialization and robotics, if you think about it. IT is full of low hanging fruit for automation.

(When, really, there is no easy and hard; there's only optimization of a neural net to a task, and what we find hard are things we were never optimized for.) It's also karma in that the techies responsible for automating others' jobs away are the first to get hardcore automated. c':
