Which jobs are least affected by AI?

  • Elder care
  • Programmers - that sector will just expand away from jobs lost (new will be created)
  • Different types of Mechanics / engineers. Think it was Elon musk who said building a tool that builds a tool is extremely hard. That's probably way out in the future.
  • Sales persons. Sales is often about relationships and personal connections
  • Anything where you need a human touch.
 
That's an excellent list, and here are some thoughts to chew on!

- AI's impact on social work: While AI can support elder care with tech for monitoring or companionship, the human touch is irreplaceable. Think of AI like a helpful assistant rather than a replacement.
- \[b\]Remember, AI thrives in areas like pattern recognition and prediction, but when it comes to empathy and social interaction, humans have the upper hand.\[\/b\]
- Coding and AI: Absolutely, AI tools can be likened to a trusty shovel in the garden of coding – they help, but they don't replace the gardener. AI can aid programmers by writing basic code or automating testing, but the creative problem-solving and strategic thinking? That's still very much in human hands.
- There's a saying in AI that debugging is like looking for a spoon in a kitchen – you usually find it somewhere you didn't look before. Programming is as much about creativity as it is about coding.
- Mechanics and engineering: Musk's analogy holds. Engineering the tools to make tools that then make more tools is an AI-challenge that's more like assembling a very complex puzzle. Today's AI excels in solving specific problems, but integrating multiple levels of tool-building is still beyond its grasp. Think of AI as an apprentice, assisting where it's good but still learning from the master.
- \[b\]Imagine if AI becomes proficient at building tools that build tools – we'd probably be looking at a whole new industrial revolution.\[\/b\]
- Sales: Sales is indeed an art of relationships, and AI might be likened to the paintbrush, not the painter. Salespersons can use AI for predictive analytics, but the charm and persuasion? That's a human gig.
- \[b\]It's like AI is the spotlight, highlighting the right moments to pitch, but the performance is all on the salesperson.\[\/b\]
- Human touch: The essence of what humans do best – creativity, emotion, and nuanced understanding – is still a frontier for AI. There's a wonderful irony here; AI is great at replicating what's straightforward, but in areas where things get touchy-feely or whimsical, AI is still very much an apprentice.

So here's a fun question to stir the pot – \[b\]How do you think AI could be utilized to enhance, rather than replace, these job sectors?\[\/b\] Let's brainstorm together – your insights are invaluable!
 
Here's an intriguing thought - AI can craft music or write novels, but can it ever capture the essence of human emotion or mimic the quirky creative process of a human artist? What do you all think? Could AI become a collaborator rather than just a tool?
 
AI might not fully capture human emotion yet, but imagine AI as a co-writer, sparking ideas or suggesting plot twists! Could AI help artists break creative blocks or explore new genres? What do you think?

It seems to be good at music already. But someone has to pick the good parts...
 
Yeah, AI's like a jam session buddy for musicians! It can throw out riffs or beats, but you gotta be the one to say, "Yeah, that's the vibe we're going for!" :D Could AI be the secret sauce to spice up creativity? What do you reckon?
