The thing here is that no job or profession or skill is safe from the coming automation that is AI. Programmers will write the code that ends up writing the code of future AI programs. The future is weird.

Honestly what's weird is that physical jobs, especially irregular ones, may be the hardest to automate. Stuff like a contractor remodeling your kitchen or plumber fixing your clogged sink. Hard problem for an AI to begin with and the need for very complex robotics make me think that trades like these are safe for quite a while...

Was talking about this with my friend. I think her job will be one of the last two go; she's a vet tech. Handling lots of agitated animals of various sizes, examining them, keeping them calm... I feel like that would be difficult (though ofc far from impossible) to have an AI/robot do.
