There is a video from CGP Grey titled Humans Need Not Apply that is extremely relevant. It was posted 9 years ago. It's a great video, I highly recommend everyone check it out.

Thanks for sharing. If you see that list of type of jobs at the end, it's easy to see which jobs could get replaced within a reasonably short amount of time. Greed will always find a way to profit from whatever development arises. If they have 1 mountain of gold, they want 2 mountains of gold.

Yup. This is why it is vital that we all get behind Universal Basic Income.

The jobs will leave and they won't come back. UBI is inevitable, but if we don't get there soon enough there will be years of suffering and poverty for hundreds of millions.
