“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that”..

As a union leader once said to a manager, the machines may not go on strike, but show me an automatic machine buying a car. The economy depends on jobs, decently paid, so people can afford to shop. And keep things going! Thank you for the video!

I hate dealing with AI customer service. Or talking to AI at all. If anyone calls me that is suspect, I rapid fire a weird question like "give me your unfiltered opinion of _The Dukes of Hazard_ TV show" or "What Disney character needs a punch in the face?" I've actually _caught_ AI callers pretending to be human (they hang up). I could easily tell without the questions at first but now it's harder.

I retired this past June after working as an accountant for 40 years. YIPPEE! I got out in time! 😁

If I didnt think it would wipe us out I would hope AI would take all the politicians jobs. If you could honestly convince the AI to run things for humanities benifit they would work great. They would at least be immune to corruption.

I got laid-off from a job when I got replaced by new software. That was over 15 years ago. My father was a field tech for a service company whose job was to repair the room-sized servers for various other companies, including: banks, the post office, the military, insurance companies, etc. At first, he would be called by the IT personnel of those companies to come out and fix their problems. He would work on figuring out what was wrong and it might take a day or a couple of days to analyze the problem. Toward my Dad's retirement, he was being called by the machines, themselves, and they were telling him what their problem was before he ever showed up to the facility. Furthermore, many of the IT people that kept the machines maintained were gone by the time he retired. The companies decided that they didn't need as many on staff anymore with the machines being more advanced. Many had small internal robots doing the maintenance the IT workers used to do.

CEOs will be like: ''Aright we've effectively replaced all employees with robots, saving us record amounts of money. But for some reason people are not buying our products anymore?''

Robot trucks are scarier than human truck drivers. My Dad was a truck driver and the best advice he ever gave me was when passing a tractor trailer NEVER pass one if your driving on speed control. Basically pass the tractor trailer as quickly as possible......

My son builds robot systems. He also programs them and fixes them. He is on call 24/7 because those stupid robots break! Also, these machines are expensive and parts can be hard to come by. Finally, when a robot can clean my floor and then jump up and wash my dishes then I'll be impressed!

Radiologists are the medical doctor. Xray technologists are the people who set your body in front of the machines. I can see the AI being able to read the results but technicians are necessary to set the patients properly in front of the equipment

All i can say is that if AI takes over then the crime rate and homelessness will definitely be out of control. It will increase like wildfire.

"Building roads for only self-driving trucks to key areas" isn't that exactly what trains do?

No jobs for us mere humans to earn a paycheck, then no human buyers with money to purchase stuff....Good Luck AI you'll need it

Yeah right the truck driving job will be a mad challenge to replace atleast 40 years

buying a house from on line pictures is one of the most foolish things a person could do.

I work in sales. I don’t think AI can do what I do. Even if it could, people would prefer to speak to a human.

I've been driving trucks for nearly a decade and even back when I started, all I heard from anyone was how my job was about to be eliminated by automated trucks "soon." We are no closer to that potential reality than we were a decade ago. Also, over the years of doing this, I have come to learn that actually driving the truck is the simplest and easiest part of my job. There is so much more that goes into this profession that doesn't even occur to the average non-driver. If my truck became fully autonomous tommorow, I would still have a job for years to come from all the non-driving tasks I have to do every day.

As someone who is bilingual, a good translation is a lot harder than you might think. Yeah, computers can do a "basic" translation but it's pretty sloppy. It's a subject I've been pondering and playing with for multiple decades. The dominant form of AI that we're seeing, these days, is called a Large Language Model. It's built on looking at the words you use to prompt it, then coming up with which words are statistically-probable to be used in an answer, then using statistical probabilities to determine how to string together words for the response. Some of these are pretty convincing. But the AI underlying it has no real comprehension of what you asked or what it's saying; it's all "what's the most likely response, what's the most likely word to come after that one," etc. You know what we call it when a person does this? Uses terminology they don't really comprehend? A BS artist. A conman. A poseur. Congratulations! You've created a digital BS artist. Any time ChatGPT (or similar) gives you some information, you have to ruthlessly fact-check it. And it usually fails the fact-check. It sounds convincing. Because the words it strung together are highly-probably in their sequence and usage. God help you if you are relying on a digital BS artist to translate anything of importance.

As a writer I feel compelled to point out that A.I. means artificial intelligence not artificial imagination, the latter requiring flesh and blood.

Long distance truck drivers won’t be replaced, because too many things can go wrong and there are also a lot of litigation concerns surrounding this..

We have an Amazon Fresh store and we visited once. It felt dark, lots of black shelving. Many of the fruits, vegetables and meat were poor quality and some were visibly moldy. Things on the shelves were close close to the expiration date. It just wasn’t good quality.

AI is all our 1950s horror movie film fears coming into reality. I miss being 8-13.

The problem is if jobs are replaced then who is going to buy the product or the service if no one has money?? Automation and AI are placing people out of work and there is nothing to replace it with. So who will rent, buy, lease, or have anything??.

I already have been replaced by a robot. You're all next. The end is near.

You’d need some seriously complicated robots to replace construction workers. Even something as simple as replacing a garbage disposal would take a robot with dozens of levels of articulation. That tech won’t exist for a long time. We can talk all day about 3d printed building and pre fab, but we’ve already been doing this for a while. And you have to overcome logistics. For instance, laying brick on the tenth floor of a high rise building, or 3d printing a house on a mountain side, running a plumbing line in the ceiling of an active hospital. Right now and for the foreseeable future it’s simply cheaper to pay a crew of guys to form up your foundation. The cost of the machine rental, plus maintenance, materials and delivery, set up and tear down, would have to be in the mid 5 figures, and take less than a week before it could even compete with a handful of carpenters. It’ll get there eventually sure, but manual labor in construction is relatively complicated and at the same time cheap, so there’s no real incentive to develop the equipment necessary to replace humans.

Giant grocery store in Maryland (Name is called Giant) added cashiers because people were not paying for food at the self checkout and sneaking food out.

I refuse to use those kiosks at McDonalds. So annoying.

McDonald’s can’t even keep the Milkskake machines working properly. When I go into Mcdonolds half the kiosks are always out of order.

I've yet to use an automated system that worked well. Generally you get frustrated and start punching "0" in the hopes it triggers a transfer to a human.

Depressing and scary. I just hope that the loss of these jobs creates other jobs for those being taken over.

When all of these jobs have replaced humans by A.I. and all the humans get unnemployed, then who is going to have money to buy the products and services offered by the companies?

I remember reading a comment when fast food workers were demanding a living wage and the commenter wrote the typical anti-worker comment about being replaced by machines just for having the temerity to want to only need one job in order to feed, clothe and house oneself. He wrote it as if the workers bought this replacement upon themselves. I felt it important to point out that the companies deploying this technology didn’t just dream it up and voila it appeared, they were planning on replacing people no matter what they did. Regular people were already regarded as dispensable technology has not changed that in a capitalist economy.

Your list forgot to mention actors and writers. Among the striking actors’ demands are protections against their scanned likeness being manipulated by AI without adequate compensation for the actors. According to the SAG-AFTRA union, producers are proposing that background performers should be able to be scanned, get paid for one day’s pay and their company should own that scan, their image, their likeness, and to be able to use it for the rest of eternity in any project they want with no consent and no compensation. Screen writers are concerned that their work will be replaced by AI programs like ChatGPT. Potential AI job losses are concerning to those at all employment levels.

I work in insurance, and it’s laughable at how much AI has set my employer back.

Thanks Briggs! Great video!

I work as a manager at a self storage facility. Won't be long until I am replaced by a kiosk. Newly built facilities are being built with no office.

I'd like to see how AI deals with unruly kids on the school bus.

You forgot the obvious, doctors, teachers, lawyers, social media influencers, actors, musicians, artist, which are all easily and currently being replaced by Ai.

I haven't watched the entire video but my job as a massage therapist will never be replaced by a robot. There's absolutely zero substitution for human touch.

Thank you so much! This came at the right time because I am looking to change my job field. This helped me a lot.

I really doubt that A.I. will ever replace truck drivers.

I’d be ok with using a robot to visit a home but not the virtual house tours 😊 until software can detect mold, foundation issues, and drywall issues. Imagine if AI could detect pipe leaks or handyman electrical fails (wiring out of code) 😊 within walls - then that would be awesome

I can't count all the times I tried to use Google Translate, and it failed to translate some words. It would repeat a word in the other language like it was a name or something. Computer translation isn't there yet. As far as journalists, there are very few in the US anymore. The people on TV are just reading scripts written by someone else.

I'm pretty surprised you didn't mention anything about the graphic design industry. While, I don't think it will be completely replaced by AI. I think we will see a transition much to how websites used to be a specialty but now anyone can build them but they'll always need graphic designers just like people still need websites custom made.

I honestly don't think humans will allow AI to take over every particular job. I think businesses that are using artificial intelligence business will eventually fail. If a human does not buy the products how will Artificial intelligence businesses continue? This matter will be based on humans letting It happen.

Good Morning sir, glad to watch another video. Thanks for all you do.

Here's another one: CEOs, COOs, in fact just about every executive management position could be done with A.I. If executives think they're insulated from technology and they'll be hanging onto their Golden Parachutes, they've deluding themselves. How long before somebody realises that you don't need people to do the same corporate organisation and operations management jobs intelligent computers can perform -- without paying out multimillion dollar salaries, benefits packages, retirement pensions, health plans, perques or stock options that impact the bottom line? Sooner or later, somebody is going to make the conceptual jump and reason that if you can replace the lower level grunts with machines, why not the executive suite as well?

My gut feeling is that next wave of AI applications will eliminate more jobs by increasing the productivity of the average worker (hence requiring fewer people to do a certain job), as opposed to eliminating jobs outright by replacing workers for the entire set of tasks. In regard to automation and manufacturing, I believe we already have a living example of how things might unfold. In the semiconductor industry, yield loss due to particle defects has forced wafer fabs to replace human operators with extensive automation. These companies might need fewer operators but they need a larger population of higher-paid technicians and engineers to keep things running.

Radiologists are the doctors, radiology technicians take the pictures.

The age of AI will exasperate a two "class" system. Those who own/control/fund government and business (manufacturing, AG, distribution, and mining), and most of the rest of us will be forced into the service industry for the most part...regardless of skill. It's too bad. The constant blind thirst for innovation and growth is creating a scenario where it only benefits a few, while molding the rest into a miserable, mundane existence.

I think this was a great idea for a video.

If I lose my job to A.I, I'll have someone hack their systems and I'll over charge them for the inconvenience 💯

The end is nigh. Nobody will think for themselves: the death knell of critical thinking. 😮

First thing I thought of as I learned more about AI was journalism! I sure don't want to read articles written by some bot! You are so right on this subject! Keep up the good work!

The cashiers were brought back for help and control because people either didn't get how to operate the system or they were stealing. Not all of the stuff, but about half of it.😂

It don't matter how many jobs will be lost as much as how many consumers will be lost because of those lost jobs. Without workers getting paid for a job, there is no consumers because they can't afford things. So AI is a no win game in the end.

As someone who has done at least five of those jobs at some earlier point in my life, I am not surprised. A lot of them were kind of tedious and dehumanizing, and I knew that they would get automated someday. On the other hand, those were good jobs that were easy to find when I was between jobs and needed quick money, so I don't know what people will do in the future when they find themselves in similar situations.

If AI takes my job I don’t even know what I’ll do next tbh lol. Don’t see myself doing anything else. And this is the exact reason why there’s no need for population growth, AI will simply fill in those empty rolls at some point.

Wow, this is the earliest I have been for your vids. AI will not take my job, I won't let it.

When I was a kid. My grandfather said to me. My brother in Detroit lost his job to a non person robot. That was 1970. Detroit has more people than auto manufacturers can hire. Because most labor has been replaced by computers or robots.

I don't think market analysis will get replaced by AI, but rather AI will enhance it

Nope. People still want people to yell at over the phone. Unbelievably, my job is secure.

Interesting. I enjoyed this .thx.

Great video Briggs. I have been asking the question for some time now, If technology is going to replace people in jobs and it is, why do we want to expand our population? People have to have a purpose, a sense of worth, goals, ambition other than consuming oxygen.

It will reduce or eliminate some and create others,for example when casinos eliminate casino attendants ,they now require mechanics to repair them when they break,need paper…

It’s already happening in Hollywood with chatgpt replacing writers and actors ,can’t say it’s a bad thing

Interesting video. What jobs, I wonder, will be created when AI takes away these other jobs? Besides software developers, of course.

I'm studying to be a chef. There are now robots who can do simple cooking tasks. I used to be childcare worker. There's no way s robot can do that job!

Reminds me of Robotron, the 1982 arcade game. It predicted 2084 would be the year. Also, Kraftwerk has a song called, “We Are The Robots”

I asked my computer about this and it stated the answer was above my pay grade. He's getting a little uppity, if you know what I mean.

i have a question about the first prediction. When AI attempts to replace truck drivers, will AI also be able to react when a tire blows out?

HAHAHAH!!! OMG, our jobs (bookkeepers/accountants) have become so much more difficult due to automation. So much coming into QBO feeds is mis-matched or mis-categorized. We spend HOURS changing stuff and trying to get information out of this friggin' program. Also people are really weird about their money. These jobs are not going anywhere.

GREETINGS FROM THE PPRC GREAT VIDEO THANKS FOR DOING IT FOR US.

So will the constantly broken ice cream machines at McDonald’s be able to self-repair?

I am a truck driver and not because I am afraid of losing my job but the reality is self driving trucks are not a threat. Truck driving involves more then just driving. Who’s going to back the trailer up once it arrives to the destination. Who’s going to hook up the airlines and change placards? Who’s going to perform pre trip inspections like we do on a daily basis? Who will unload the product when it arrives to the store? I can go on and on. I’m sure there will be a small niche for them in certain areas of the country but overall it will have little impact on us truckers. I mean it’s taking 20 plus years for automatic trucks to catch on. By the time self driving trucks take over we will all be dead.

Interesting list. I agree to a certain degree, a percentage of jobs in those industries will be transformed into automation. As mention in the beginning, this is not new, it’s been happening since the dawn of the industrial age. The important message here is choose your career path wisely as technological progress may affect you choice. I think the most promising future career path is robot supervision. That one or two humans that have to make sure the robots are doing what they are supposed to be doing. Also, a video on the flip side would interesting. The 20 jobs that are being created by the advancement of technology.

Thank you for doing this one Mr. Briggs.I think it will be up to the insurance company's, weather or not trucks will be driverless. I morn the day we loose all cashiers. I do not even have a smart phone, nor do I want one. I am very happy fast food will be made by robots.

All experts start out as beginners. AI will wipe out the begginer jobs. So how will we get our experts?

You left out airline Pilots. Take a look at Airbus Industry's Atonomous Taxi, Takeoff and Landing (ATTOL) as well as Garmin's Autoland. It may take a while, but there is no doubt in my mind that single pilot airliners will be the norm in the future and truly autonomous airline operations may take longer, but I wouldn't bet against it.

The KZfaq ad placer is AI. It does a great job of showing you ads for the thing you just bought, will never buy or don't fit the demographic for. AI will need to get a lot more saavy to make inroads into sales.

This made me sad, most of these jobs are the outsole that or elderly would see weekly..... Bank teller, store clerk, etc. How lonesome for them. 😔🙏

Polticians! Machines could argue ceaselessly, accomplish nothing, and sit in the same place for years before (like certain senators) suddenly come to a halt in midinterview. Just two AI manufacturers needed: Big Blue and Big Red.

Good Topic!!

I just thought I would clarify, that a radiologist is someone that just sits in a office and looks at images that the radiology techs take, not the technician that takes a snapshot of you.

Radiologists are MDs who read and interpret various imaging modalities. You're thinking of Radiological Technologists, AKA Rad Techs, Imaging Techs, formerly X-Ray Techs. It's a 2 yr program after high school. My former job was typing and crossmatching safe blood for human transfusions. It's going to be 70 yrs before an AI robot can do that.

What jobs do you think will be safe for the next 50 years?

Great Video

As I’m retired from 30 years in the Marine Corps…no.

I'm only here to be educated on what appears to be seemingly meaningless information. Thank Briggs for staying the facts. You be a real one. God bless

I know you mentioned that technicians and programmers are still going to be needed for these new AI machines but I honestly think programmers are going to be one of the first jobs to get replaced. Chat GPT has already been used to write code for programs.

Until AI robots in the future are able to repair and build themselves we will still need systems specialists and computer technicians and software/network managers. And no AI will not replace everything. Like human connections and relationships. How many of us have used automated answering/inquiry phone systems. By the time I get halfway through all the options and still not getting anywhere--by that time I want to storm down to their office and tell them their automated system sucks! I hate those things... 😠

Translators are the people who use those translation sites the most. But they spend most of their time correcting the AI translations - which, ironically, aren't getting any better at translating texts. If you need to translate only a single word, then the AI translators are fine. But if you have to translate even a single sentence, a human who knows both the original and target languages needs to do the actual translation. That's only if the translation needs to actually make any sense in the target language. Some people are OK with just claiming to have translated something even when the translation makes no sense.

CEO’s would be great candidates, save their exorbitant salaries and return to investors

I think we are still a long way from Truck drivers being replaced, trains go forward and backwards and they aren't fully automated yet.

My customers would probably much more see a human face than a droid. Except my face - it’s pretty scary 😧!!

Radiologists ARE Doctors, I repeat Radiologists ARE physicians who went to medical school.

Illustrators are going to get thinned out. But the good news is that there is a new job here. The Prompter. The requirements are actually to have more artistic knowledge than normal illustrators.

My current job status is customer service rep/sales associate/cashier. Whoops! I quit that a few months ago so…self-employed now but not making dough. Has he tried the self-checkout lately? Sometimes more congested than regular check out cause the people don’t know how to use them or…the machines themselves malfunction and require human intervention. Don’t think we are there yet. Ahem.

Very important-- Radiologist is the doctor. Technicians take the pictures.

You forgot to include graphic artists. I can go on an AI program and ask it to make an advertising logo by giving it custom parameters and it will generate a high rez rendering in seconds.
