Too late, I retired when AI was still in its infancy.
I’m a professional juggler stripper mountaineer, so no.
My specific job – no ….. it requires personal interaction & observations … but many around me
These big beautiful new factories will be full of robots “working”… and not paying taxes… wild times we’re in.
Who knows im unemployed but most retail minimum wage jobs yes theyre first to be replaced by AI. Better start learning some skills.
Not really taken over but certainly assists. Speeds up software code entry especially repetitive lines. For laughs, I might let see what kind an AI bot would write for an app. But for decades many of us have written AI like code for decades.
Yes. If you work an office job, you can bet the owner of our business has already started figuring out how to use AI instead of you. It’s happened at my job already. Why would a business owner pay anyone in an office when they can have AI answering the phones, AI writing responses to emails, AI writing marketing copy and generating flyer designs, all IN SECONDS and at a small fraction of the cost it is to have a real person interact with their customers?
Capitalism doesn’t care about you.
Domestic Engineer ~ Can AI could my chords?
Wouldn’t mind a break since I don’t get paid.
🙂 : ) 🙂
All i’m doin’ is layin’ in the recliner, putting money in Wife’s
account to buy more stuff to be delivered and eating leftovers.

If I was at former job, there’s no way AI could replace me.
No. My job is too complicated for AI.
Not neccesarily. What I do involves real people and their families, and some very complex individual situations that cannot be handled by some soulless bot.
Being a few years out from retirement, the shifting social and technological landscapes will be more of a hobby than a concern.
Not a chance as it can’t climb ladders, get in crawl spaces, or install security systems. But, it has been a huge asset, as our camera systems now alert authorities “before” someone breaks in 🙂
I took the path of leveraging what AI and ML can do to
make me more effective and therefore more
marketable, not can or will these
tools eventually replace me.
So far so good, but I can see the dark at the
end of the tunnel. 🤷
My job specifically, no, as I hope to be retired in a couple years. In general, I wouldn’t want to say my role is irreplaceable, but I think there is enough human interaction, as well as a lot of variability that aggregated data could not strategize around, in part because it is not an exact science, that AI could not adequately manage.
One of my businesses I have piece of machinery that is 65 yearsold.I would like to see AI operate or drive it,or even get it started.AI wont make 5 gallon fuel delivery,or meet with people and look over situations and make contracts.Only the jobs where humans have been milking it and a machine could do it,like a mcdomalds drive thru,they will do it.Will police be AI?Cops will get killed all day long if they are robots..nobody gets hurt and nobody cares.
Well I’m retired so it can’t take “my” job.
Many jobs involve “institutional history” or “system history” that AI will never gain. Things are never straight line with any job, the are always little hiccups and many nuances that AI is not capable of capturing. Also in dealing with the public or other businesses/ agencies body language, verbal inflection and being able to read people you are dealing with are things AI can’t pick-up on or will be capable of understanding.
AI like robotics will be great on assembly lines or warehouse but not good for much more than that
Totally agree, body language tells me a lot when dealing with customers. Often before someone even speaks l can tell they are going to complain about something. So many things l see on the Internet’s that is generated by AI have the wrong info. Like biographies of famous people get a lot of things wrong
.
Oh please oh please oh please!
Not unless AI can smile and stay composed even with difficult costumers (which are very few). Remember where exactly that Navy evening gown with lace it located, and if not there look in the next likely place, by the dressing room. Can recommend a certain color and style of garment when a customer ask for your opinion.
Not all aspects of it, but most. It would free me up to do the things that matter and remove the time-consuming administrative tasks from my plate. AI would allow us to provide faster and more responsive service.
