    Can you name 5 jobs where human contact is strictly necessary and I’ll see if I can explain how AI will replace those people anyway?

        Uh the first two mostly just talk to people. Definitely getting replaced by a chatbot soon.

        Teachers already use AI to create lesson plans and grade tests. There’s a huge push to use even more AI in schools. The human element of having a teacher present is valuable, but unfortunately not easily measurable in a short term study so I’m fairly sure teaching jobs will be axed. I mean you don’t have to get rid or every teacher, just increase class size 4x and you can already get rid of 75%.

        Nurses, like I’ve mentioned before, will be there just to do the physical tasks. IVs, shots, etc. AI will decide what painkillers to administer, etc. Then nurses can be paid half as much and you’ll need half as many. Automate the meaningful part of the job, leave the easily trainable.

        Lawyers are already using AI en masse. It’s resulting in loads of crap, but it won’t for much longer. Just need appropriate MCPs to validate citations. The issue at present is using a regular chat interface target than a tailored agent.

        Diplomats (and similarly, CEOs) indeed can not be replaced. Those jobs require consuming alcohol with other parties at the negotiating table, which AI can’t do.

        For most jobs, AI will just automate the thinking and decision making parts. Someone else needs to sign off and/or do the physical parts, but that means you can lay off most of the workforce and reduce the remaining part’s pay since the job is streamlined and unemployment is high.

            Yes, Elon for sure wants to tell everyone how the capitalists are replacing workers with AI and this isn’t going to end well without socialism.

              Point to where you said anything about socialism?

              It seems more like you were just saying "let’s replace all these jobs with AI because it’s going to happen either way…
