Only thing about the article I believe is that it might have been written by human. Majority of jobs that are or can be intellectually done over wire such as pharmacy will eventually be gone. I can ask today AI if given drug is good for me and I would know better than any pharmacist could tell me, no stress I can ask dumbest question and I get answer that is aligned more with reality than any pharmacist could give me. Same goes for lawyers and other jobs.

This goes deeper, jobs that will stay are jobs that are right now out of compute, robotics will progress in next few years but it is much more demanding task compute-wise and so jobs that involves physics and navigating real world are still relatively safe for now.

Humans are sample efficient, rn LLM are not, you can learn driving in 20hrs no match for any AI these days. Jobs that involve getting expert in new domains quickly given missing data in real world are going to be safe too.

>Medicine. Pharmacists, doctors, nurses and other prescribing clinicians will have a role

not safe from AI. AGI could handle 80% of healthcare much better than overworked and/or indifferent and/or incompetent meatbags.

>Education and early years. Childminding is one of the careers least likely to be replaced by AI

early years - sure, but once the child doesn't need constant supervision, AGI can do better than than overworked and/or indifferent and/or incompetent meatbags who are often minding 40+ kids at once.

hell, the models we have now are already sufficient.

>Law. As AI lowers the cost of delivering legal services … more jobs could be available

what

>Hospitality. Human-to-human connection, should not be replaced by AI

an empty platitude doesn't make it less wrong

>Trades. Hands-on trades such as bricklaying or carpentry offer career opportunities

the only correct answer, but while it is 'safe from AI', almost every Western country imports millions of people that aren't qualified to do anything but unskilled trades, so good luck.

>Banking and finance. Demand should rise for data scientists and AI engineers

data science and AI engineering is not 'banking and finance'.
