monetization is of course not going to show up there.

will your agent be programmed to tell you about one fast food vendor over another? will that change over time? will you be told?

of course things look rosy up there in that ivory tower.

but how is the foundation going to hold up?

lol, no it’s not. Maybe one day, but not with the current tech.

The writing is on the wall. It's not right now, but it will be in my lifetime. What are some AI-proof(ish) industries we can jump into after software engineering is drastically reduced?

Every Bill Gates article reads as a ChatGPT generated fluff piece.

Coincidence...?

Ditch digging should be safe for quite some time.

Yeah could you f**ng not? I pay taxes and insurance to get proper medical guidance, not answers from a bot. Public healthcare in the uk is nearly dead anyway and their patch fixes are to use “virtual” nonsense, while private healthcare is riddled by “ai” that does nothing but annoy customers. BabylonHealth, a former uk ai “healthcare” darling, rightfully went under because among many things it was gibberish.

This type of sentiment is not valuable at all and overly pessimistic. Current AI tech is not very likely to replace work that requires a modicum of logical reasoning and the tech to do so has no known path forward as of now.

Hospitality will always be a thing. There's a reason why the Enterprise-D still has a human bartender that makes real drinks, even though it's completely superfluous. People will always want to be served by other humans, even if AI Android tech became perfect.
