Unfortunately if it is anything like AI for software development, if the CEOs sense any progress they will fire people first and ask questions later. Even if the technology is subpar.

When new factories are created in the US, they will be as automated as they can be. Farming, driving vehicles (delivery, taxi, trucking, etc.), unloading trucks, stocking shelves; all of that will be done by robots eventually. Other jobs like entry level office jobs and customer support will be eliminated too and replaced with AI, as well as mid level management and creative work.

Consider coal mining. Even if the Cheetoh-in-charge were to succeed in turning back the calendar to revitalize coal, there’s been over half a century of declining jobs. Automation over time means there are no jobs to come back.

Maybe. We know many people will continue to figure out more automation, and yes AI is actually useful, will continue to get better and will be used everywhere.

  • but I don’t know if anyone has a sustainable business model for ai yet. While there are too many free options, no “killer app”, and relatively high expenses, it looks more like a bubble. We’ll see what is left behind after it pops
  • robots already are successful in manufacturing, logistics and many other areas and will continue to become ever more useful. But there’s no guarantee humanoid robots ever will be. Coolness isn’t sufficient. Becoming functional is not sufficient. For a humanoid robot to succeed they have to be better than other solutions or cheaper or more effective, or some combination. They might never be
