The interesting thing about AI is that if you would've asked me 5 years ago - I thought the absolute last jobs AI would impact would be art related.

Now it looks like it might be one of the first.

The mixing in the song is quite bad and the melody could use a little human touch, but if someone remastered this - it could be a hit!




The absolute last jobs to be automated by AI will be those that require highly flexible sensorimotor skills, demand real time reactions, and involve significant risks.

Like even right now trains could be 100% automated easily. But the risk involved of transporting so many humans that could die if something goes wrong in a freak scenario, and the material damage of derailing a train makes a human supervisor/driver quite viable.


A lot of light rail and subway systems are entirely automated today. As far as I know, most of the systems that haven't automated conductor work are either grandfathered into union negotiations that preserve those positions or haven't been able to justify the cost yet.


The last jobs to be automated are those that people want to be done by a human. Think healthcare and sex.


I don't want healthcare done by people, they're expensive, hard to get a hold of, and make lots of mistakes. Can't wait to have it all automated.


I've also been surprised that AI had hit art first, but in hindsight it makes sense. The AI we have now is imprecise, which is neutral to good for art, bad for sciences.
