So a computer program, even an advanced one, is going to take the place of WHAT, exactly? They say clerical. Okay, what? Physically filing papers? No, not without wheels and a form of dexterous mobility. Transcribing speech to text? Okay, I could see that, but it already exists, and it hardly
needs “AI” to do that.
Now a robot, or really an automated machine, could cook a burger, and might be able to create the entire Big Mac or Whooper, but that’s not clerical work.
None of anything a machine could do, or an automate machine, needs AI to do it.
By AI they mean some master brain, smarter than a man. We don’t have that. It is just science fiction.
I am a computer scientist by degree, and systems networking and teaching guy by profession, but AI is the biggest nothing there story this year.

There remain many faux "management" jobs concerned with the juggling of lists and schedules and the optics of having a Person in Charge. Women are vastly overrepresented in these fake roles as a result of decades of pressure to meet diversity targets. AI could make many layers of bureaucracy go away - even the legendary "DMV Lady". It might undo decades of Leftist sabotage of our corporations and government offices - that's why they are worried.
