Those will be the first, with AI the last guy to go will be the one cleaning the toilets.

Thats the utopical, in reality corps will try to replace as many people as possible.

I posted this several times, but manual labor requires a lot of resources to be replaced, knowledge based jobs not so much, once they have a solution figured out for lets say, accountants, its just a matter of scale and you can deploy 10,100, 1000 ,100,000 instances and replace Max the accountant that you pay 160k a year.

With manual labor you need specific solutions for each problem lets say cleaning, Bob the maintenace guy, can mop floors, fix leaking pipes, change lightbulbs, fix sagging doors, do minor paint jobs to build robot than can do all those tasks is very complex, the robotics and the software sides.

You pay Bob 40k a year..... It's cheaper to keep Bob and fire Max.
