I really don’t understand how people thought that AI was going to be able to do physical labor for them. Robotics can do some level of physical labor however most physical labor still requires a human being as we are years and decades away from any sort of robotic entity with any sort of llm or AI or whatever intelligence or even just a basic programming script being able to perform most jobs. My job myself will never be replaced in my lifetime I probably have another 15 to 20 years of doing what I’m doing right now and I can pretty much guarantee that there will not be any sort of advancement in labor by robotics or AI that could complete the job that I do.
The other thing is solving on-the-job issues that crop up like the previous plumber not knowing their ass from a hole in the ground, and now you need to figure out how to deal with their cursed contraption. Good luck little robot! Hope you figure it out in such a way that the homeowner doesn’t sue your AI startup into buying them a full house Reno, or the value of the house pre-poonado.
I’m also in the same boat as you. My job is in the field and is already heavily automated but that’s not doing a damn thing for replacing me. The hard part is understanding a multivariate system and it’s safety critical. Humans can manage it but AI can’t yet, and probably never fully will.
