Reading many of the philosophies on how AI will solve all the problems - I have to wonder if those people ever worked a "real job". I am professional in IT sector just like majority here, but on occasion when I do some masonry, or plumbing or electrical work - I do appreciate and understand how much flexibility and creativity people have. Event with "simple software" that you build for real business (like waste collection, logistics - ie. not IT), you might see how much more complicated the real life is from the "lab" setup AI is evaluated in. I believe with AI we will see future similar to self-driving cars: they will improve work, and some mundane repeated tasks (the tasks that might take 60-80% of time) - but they won't fully replace need for workers. Just that workers gonna be different - instead of repeatedly doing stuff they will have to make decisions, spot issues etc. And then there is whole artisan theme. You can take for example bakery. One can purchase anything in super-market cheaper, but there are bakeries where it's just better and more preferred for those who can afford. Or coffee. Or whatever else that is already automated but we prefer to be served by human.
