What will AI replace... Nothing important. Indian programmers and call center staff? HR departments slags? The biggest job threat is all DEI run. Good riddance. I set up an AI agent to help my mum care for herself and order groceries after her stroke, It costs $20 a month. I trust AI way more than I would some imported Haitian “care taker” or any of the other imported trash companies like “Visiting Angels” hire. Heck. I upload any blood test from the doc to AI and it automatically adjusts recipes and grocery delivery for anything she needs diet wise. That would cost a fortune hiring a nutritionist.
Society will adapt. I am fine never having used a buggy whip or shod horses. I sure don’t miss the massive CRT monitors on my desk. I still have an old slide ruler in my desk for some reason. I don’t even know how to use it anymore.

Workers in those old industries migrated to the new industries. Automobile plants, oil fields, etc. Where will the AI-displaced workers go?
I’m not arguing against AI. Just raising a concern.

Same here! I used two slide rules in college. A larger one for my desk, and a smaller one for my pocket. I just can’t bring myself to throw them away.
A while back I was on a site that was discussing slide rules. My favorite comment there:
“The last time I used my slide rule was maybe 40 years ago. Now I forget how to turn it on.”
