Human-contact based jobs should still all be available. Frankly speaking: apart from the AI hype which should just make automated tasks easier, faster and error-proof in the digital world, what jobs are we talking about? Robots have been available since the industrustial revolution began since any machinery can be seen as a robot. Are we talking about luddism?
The objection is not to the technology but to what capitalism does with it.
Automation is massively reducing the required headcount for corporate bullshit jobs (most american jobs?). Instead of 20 people shuffling an excel file around we just have one python script.
Warehouses are becoming automated as well. Why have However many forklift drivers plus a maintenance department when you can just have a maintenance department. You might need a few new hires for the robots though.
And the forklifts removed dozens of jobs a piece in manual workers using hoists and pulleys to move material.
Ill gladly give a robot my human contact job. Retail customers destroy the soul
