I wouldn't underestimate people's ability to invent fake jobs.

There will be some but I doubt a ton of these unless it gives fulfillment. It likely won't be $-based.

I think jobs will always exist as long as humans are capable of doing anything better or cheaper than a machine.

Until we get to the point where we have robotic wives and children, there will always be jobs.

There will be people paying for things they wouldn't have paid for previously, just imagine telling people in the year 1990 that you're going to build a career out of playing videogames with an audience.

There will also be free products that weren't previously free - there were paid web browsers. Imagine telling people in the year 1990 that you're going to let the world play every videogame you make for free.

This is not an attainable career in the slightest. Only sub-1% of streamers make any serious money and only a percentage of those make a lot of money(Like Shroud, DrDisrespect, etc).

You'd probably have a better chance of becoming a pro-basketball player than a successful twitch streamer.

I dunno about fake jobs, but I think hobbies will be the closest to anything resembling a job in 15-20 years. I mean certain fields will still exist but I think they will be more for people who want to work with AI/robotics whatever as they complete their tasks. “I personally would love to have a AI therapist job”. No I’m not a therapist now I actually help autistic individuals live normal lives but I would be ever so excited to help improve relationships and connections between man and machine.
