I remember reading an online study that listed the jobs most likely to be replaced by automation and "truck driver" was listed at the top.
For the keen eye, automation creates new jobs as it replaces others. Someone has to design, implement, and maintain these systems. There is always a higher level of abstraction where a human being is needed to oversee things.

- tasuki 1y ago> There is always a higher level of abstraction where a human being is needed to oversee things. These become progressively more difficult jobs. Not likely the truck drivers who find themselves out of job will implement these systems. I can already see the LLMs becoming better at computer programming than I am: they're good at the very high level, and they're good at implementing any self contained function. What's left for me is the glue code, creating the API, deciding which functions should be exposed... Soon, I won't be needed either!
