    The question of which jobs should be replaced by AI depends on societal values, priorities, and the potential impact on workers. Generally, jobs most suited for replacement by AI involve repetitive, high-volume tasks, or those where automation can improve safety, efficiency, or precision. Here are some categories often discussed:

    Repetitive and Routine Tasks

    • Manufacturing and assembly line work: Machines can perform repetitive tasks with greater efficiency and precision.

    • Data entry and processing: AI can automate mundane tasks like updating databases or processing forms.

    • Basic customer service: Chatbots and virtual assistants can handle frequently asked questions and routine inquiries.

    High-Risk Roles

    • Dangerous jobs in mining or construction: Robots can reduce human exposure to hazardous environments.

    • Driving in risky environments: Self-driving vehicles could improve safety for delivery drivers or long-haul truckers in hazardous conditions.

    Analytical and Predictable Roles

    • Basic accounting and bookkeeping: AI can handle invoicing, payroll, and tax calculations with high accuracy.

    • Legal document review: AI can analyze contracts and identify discrepancies more quickly than humans.

    • Radiology and diagnostics: AI is becoming adept at reading medical scans and assisting in diagnoses.

    Jobs With High Inefficiencies

    • Warehouse operations: Inventory sorting and retrieval can be automated for faster fulfillment.

    • Food service (e.g., fast food preparation): Robotic systems can prepare meals consistently and efficiently.

    • Retail checkout: Self-checkout systems and AI-powered kiosks can streamline purchases.

    Considerations for Replacement

    1. Human Impact: Automation should ideally target roles where job transitions can be supported with retraining and upskilling.

    2. Creativity and Emotional Intelligence: Jobs requiring complex human interaction, creativity, or emotional intelligence (e.g., teaching, counseling) are less suitable for AI replacement.

    3. Ethical Concerns: Some jobs, like judges or certain healthcare roles, involve moral decision-making where human judgment is irreplaceable.

    Instead of framing it as total “replacement,” many advocate for AI to augment human workers, enabling them to focus on higher-value tasks while reducing drudgery.

      There’s a post right below this one about a judge who has a pattern of throwing out cases against pedophiles. So, the machines might be better than us at that one.

      So apparently the job of answering the question “what job should be replaced by AI” is a job that can be replaced by AI.

    None. Sorry just my opinion.

    Look at the unemployment numbers. Tell me it’s a good idea to have less jobs.

    Anti-Cheats. Train an AI on gameplay data (position, actions, round duration, K/D, etc.) of caught cheaters and usw that to flag new ones. No more Kernel level garbage, just raw gameplay data.

      It’s also good since it’s low stakes. I mean I’d be furious if misidentified after I paid to use the game and but at the end of the day it’s only a game.

    Jobs that are done in environments that are dangerous for humans. Or at least make these jobs safer for humans.

    I’m not sure which jobs this will entail, but if a technology is able to reduce dead people on the job I think it’s a good thing.

    Any body-breaking heavy labour. Emphasis on body-breaking; there’s nothing wrong with hard work, but there are certain people that believe hard work = leaving your body destroyed at 50.

    The kind of dangerous jobs where people still get payed to risk their life and health.

    The only full job I can think of is assistant to a busy person. I don’t think any whole jobs are done better by ai. Some of the jobs recommended in this thread would be better to be removed rather than replaced.

    So, I think ai makes a better assistant to a person doing a job rather than a replacement to compete a job on its own. It can write rough drafts that a talented writer can expand and edit. It can quickly generate several plans that an experienced leader can pick from or discard. It can look through a designer’s portfolio and spit out “new” combinations of their past designs that the designer can then build upon.

    Any one of these jobs could give up and submit the AI’s output as their own, but I think the quality of the results would suffer.
