Many service jobs in the FIRE employment category will be "buggy whipped" by A.I. but full replacement is a tough sell.
That's the point though. People thinking full replacement, my job can't be fully replaced, I'm safe. No you're not. Buggy whipping will be far worse than full replacement. Buggy whipping is the GM factory worker model from 80s to bankruptcy.
Yang's infographic is junk IMHO. He needs to show up and walk through an elementary school to see what automation and AI is already doing to instruction and student/teacher ratios. Higher grades will be even more impacted I have no doubt there will always be boots on the ground, but that job is going to dramatically change. All I hear at school & district meetings is about the middle school and high school teachers being 'content' experts. That's dead person walking as AI is a content expert. It's bullseye central for AI abilities. Adaptive testing is already in place. Connect the dots. Programming has been in arms race for two decades already, it's just our expansion of tech offerings has been outpacing. That'll change too, IMHO.
What happens to a field when your larger and well funded companies leverage automation to start making , 1%2% or 5% of the field redundant every year?
The employment chart looks like this except the timeline will be compressed to 5 years, 10 years or maybe 15 years.
