Hmm, AI may be poised to make software devs, copywriters, and accountants redundant, but it's not likely to make a good salad, play a killer live concert, or set a broken arm. At a certain level I think I'm fine with being made redundant (I don't hate my job, but I wouldn't mind retiring early - unless that was to sleep in a cardboard box). So for me the question is can our society survive AI replacing a lot of lucrative white-collar gigs - maybe?

Why not? I see no reason to assume that AI can't do those things better than any human.


You don't even need AI to make a good salad, someone can program a robot with pre-made recipes.

And the other examples are also poor. AI today can already compose unique music.


Pretty sure those 3 examples will be completed by robots this year if they haven’t already.
