Anything that requires quite complicated manual dexterity seems safe for a while. Ie plumber, electrician, decorater etc

I'm glad you said "for a while."

It'll take a while...

But over time, robotic-fueled, prefab-manufactured as well as on site "printing" of foundations, wiring, and plumbing will eventually take care of skilled work as well.

(Robots are already executing surgery.)

I give it 20-30. Think about what it would take to create a robot that can go into your house, crawl into your crawlspace (everybody's is different), analyse the specific problem that your house has, fit new pipes/wires including turning off your electricity or water supply, something which is also specific to each house. How long have we been told that self driving cars are 2 years off? Because as an engineer, this is a much more complicated problem.

But soon enough AI will be able to design AI hands and bodies and then we'll build them for them
