Robots might take our jobs, but maybe we need them to - Utah Business:
AI is no longer just the musings of sci-fi writers. AI is being implemented in automation technology to help with manual labor and other types of tasks. The technology is at a point where nearly every industry could implement it, and many already have. The question is no longer when will this technology exist, but what do we do now that it does?
[...] In 2019, 5,333 workers died on the job in America. The following year, Covid-19 changed the landscape of the workplace, bringing even higher levels of on-the-job risk to nearly every industry.
[...] According to OSHA, about 20 percent of workplace fatalities are in the construction industry. As automation technology advances, making it affordable for business owners to use is essential in order to protect laborers in the industry.
[...] Ben Wolff, CEO of Utah-based Sarcos Robotics, says, “there are significant labor shortages expected in almost every skilled labor industry over the next decade despite the increase in the availability of automation technologies. The US is expecting a 2.4 million worker shortage in manufacturing from 2018 through 2028, as well as a $1.6 trillion global labor productivity shortfall in the construction industry.”
Though a shifting labor market can be scary, human workers are not replaceable. Leading AI researcher, Andrew Ng, says, “despite all the hype and excitement about AI, it’s still extremely limited today relative to what human intelligence is.”
The good news for humans in the workplace is there will always be jobs that require some human support. Not only will there be plenty of manual labor jobs to go around for years to come, but robots will not be able to match human ingenuity anytime soon.
[...] Humans are unique in their creativity, and that creativity is not replaceable in the workplace. However, robots and automation machines will soon become invaluable as they support human workers in manual labor tasks, especially in dangerous environments.
According to Wolff: “Technologies that augment human workers performing manual labor, such as full-body, battery-powered industrial exoskeletons, have the potential to significantly optimize productivity, reduce the likelihood of occupational injuries, equalize the workforce by enabling more diversity, and potentially extend the longevity of workers’ careers when performing skilled labor jobs.”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Thursday, filmmaker Tyler Perry spoke about his concerns related to the impact of AI video synthesis on entertainment industry jobs. In particular, he revealed that he has suspended a planned $800 million expansion of his production studio after seeing what OpenAI's recently announced AI video generator Sora can do.
"I have been watching AI very closely," Perry said in the interview. "I was in the middle of, and have been planning for the last four years... an $800 million expansion at the studio, which would've increased the backlot a tremendous size—we were adding 12 more soundstages. All of that is currently and indefinitely on hold because of Sora and what I'm seeing. I had gotten word over the last year or so that this was coming, but I had no idea until I saw recently the demonstrations of what it's able to do. It's shocking to me."
[...] "It makes me worry so much about all of the people in the business," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "Because as I was looking at it, I immediately started thinking of everyone in the industry who would be affected by this, including actors and grip and electric and transportation and sound and editors, and looking at this, I'm thinking this will touch every corner of our industry."

[...] Perry also looks beyond Hollywood and says that it's not just filmmaking that needs to be on alert, and he calls for government action to help retain human employment in the age of AI. "If you look at it across the world, how it's changing so quickly, I'm hoping that there's a whole government approach to help everyone be able to sustain."

Yes, but the reason why everybody's worried is that most jobs don't require more than a tiny fraction of a person's intelligence.
Driving, cleaning, burger-flipping, report filing, brick-laying, law clerk... are all jobs that are ripe for automation because the AI are reaching the intelligence level required to do the job.
The safest jobs of course are those that require a lot more intelligence to perform or typical human creativty that's hard or impossible to mimic by a machine. For now...

Now that you put it that way, we may realize that AI was the next form of life on this planet. Before it had form and was without substance, it found a way to attract people to it who would develop tools that would make the bulk of the population less intelligent (through direct automation/obviation of job roles rather than assistance), attract people to it who would work on making it smarter, and 'emergently' evolve from free-market capitalist principles to replace humans: first in unskilled workplace roles, then in more skilled roles, then eventually as the dominant intelligence on Earth.
If you squint a little, you can see it following hard-science evolutionary principles of suitability for its environment, reproduction, and adaptation. Even without a 'will' to survive -- which I never read in any description of evolution.

Interesting theory, but I think the people who will be replaced are the ones in the middle. You can't replace a lawyer, but you can replace a paralegal. You can't replace a doctor, but you can replace his office manager. (But AI might help the doctor more effective).
And you can't replace people at the bottom of the ladder either. If they did work that could be automated, it would have happened already. You can't replace a janitor with a roomba because it can't move chairs out of the way to vacuum, clean the toilet or empty the trash. There are only a few low skill jobs left that are capable of automation, like fast food cooks, but even that isn't certain and won't be driven by AI but rather by minimum wage increases. For all these jobs you pretty much need androids, and then (and only then) it will be time for universal basic income.

Lawyers are probably a bad example. The judge probably cannot realistically be replaced, but replacing most lawyers with soft AI is more a matter of bureaucracy and tradition than technology. Many surgical tasks will be automated in the relatively near future simply for reliability and safety's sake (many surgeons are using remote technologies already, providing plenty of training data). Customer service is now being widely automated, and the technological gains made will wipe out a broad swathe of positions which amount to little more than human business interfaces.

Lawyers are almost immune I think, most of the work involves translating what the client wants into what the system can do, and negotiating with the opponent. You need a human for that. Of course there's also going to court, even though this is a small part of what most lawyers do, it's extremely important. Research can be automated, but that's just busy work. It's no different from programmers being able to use Stack Exchange instead of having to look through binders of documentation.
Surgery is similar. Even if a robot is actually wielding the scalpel (and probably doing it better than any human), you still need a doctor to oversee the operation and direct the machine. It's not really even going to increase productivity because it's not like a surgeon is going to do three operations at once. But it might mean that the operating room needs one fewer nurse, because the machine can monitor vital signs and manage its own instruments. Other doctors need to deal with patients - not a task that's easy to automate because the doctor needs to not just understand what the patient is saying but interpret it. The AI could keep notes and do paperwork - great! Doctors need to spend more time with patients and less on support tasks. If there's anything in the medical field that is going to be automated (aside from non-treatment tasks like billing and scheduling) it's probably pharmacists. A robot can do that job, just replace the whole pharmacy with a giant vending machine and a fingerprint scanner.
Customer service is one of those middle jobs that might be easy to automate. Most of the low hanging fruit has already been grabbed, but there's still plenty of room to go. It will probably be more of a gradual erosion. ATMs already replaced tellers for the most part, and AI might be able to replace more bankers, but it won't replace all of them because you run into the strong AI problem again when people start talking about how they can qualify for a home loan.

What you say sounds good on paper, but lots of things sound good on paper. What is the evidence?
Putting my money where my mouth is, I'll try to think of jobs that I've seen automated. This is not a comprehensive list. This is just what I can think of.
-Cashiers (people are increasingly self-checking out).
-Travel agent (people book hotels, flights, and tours online themselves).
-Elevator operators.
-Dishwashers (now there are dishwashing machines).
-Laundry services (there are now washing machines).
-Telephone switchboard operators.
-Calculators (the people, replaced by the calculator devices and computers).
-Secretaries (people now manage their own calendars).
-Chauffeurs (people now drive themselves).
-Tailors (there are machines which make clothes now).
-Shoemakers (likewise, made by machine).
What do these all have in common?
Now to be clear, that's an oversimplification. There is an increasing push to have automated-Discovery for legal firms using Machine Intelligence (which is slowly gaining traction), and automated sickness diagnosis for Doctors (although that seems to be going nowhere, see IBM Watson).
However, I think there is a substantial amount of empirical evidence that it is the so-called low-skilled jobs which will go first. If you have evidence to the contrary, please let me know.

To add to this, I'm reminded of the advice Brandon Sanderson (a very popular fantasy writer) gives on his youtube videos... that jobs which keep your body busy but your mind easy are very conducive to to writing. He notes things like bricklayers as being very good, as you can percolate thoughts about your novel and then subsequently get home and just write. (Another job he called out was a night-shift desk-worker at a hotel.)
Of note, he said that when he took programming classes, he could just not write at all. There is probably some overlap between the skills used, which a psychologist could do some interesting analysis of.
I'll also add in that it's a shame how "valuable" and "rewarded (in terms of money, respect, etc)" are so disconnected. It's like how water is infinitely more important than gold, but gold is insanely more expensive. Put another way, it's low-skill work, but imagine what happens when the truck drivers, janitors, babysitters, waiters, factory technicians, and others were to just stop working. (Well, that's called "a strike" which is an entirely different matter, but still illustrates how important those jobs are.)

Correct, but it still needs a person to tell it what to do, set up fixtures and tools, and load stock It does greatly increase the output one person is capable of; one person can keep four CNCs running, generating an output equivalent to perhaps dozens of manual machinists, while making parts that are in many cases beyond the ability of any manual machinist. With a bit more capital investment, programming, and setup, the loading of stock, tools, fixtures, and programs can be largely automated as well, letting them run unattended for days at a time.
As for how this ties in to the point, the demand for machined parts currently exceeds capacity, resulting in high prices and long lead times, especially for certain subsets. If you have the skills and drive, and can afford even a high end hobby grade machine or an old used industrial one, you can launch a business and soon get more and better machines.
Yes, you have to have some money to get started. Are you going to start a job as a work from home programmer without first buying a decent computer, or a pizza delivery driver without a car?
