edited from talent to job
Reform tax law and get rid of 90% of the IRS. Computers could do all that shit if we simplified the system. Will never happen, though.
Most other countries don’t make you do the math and then guess how much you owe, and give you jail time if you guess incorrectly.
That doesn’t even require AI, just regular old-fashioned traditional software
I would say CEOs, but you said talent. So I guess “none” is my answer.
CEO is usually my answer as well when people ask
Like, honestly too. The humans running the show are outrageously expensive, cause huge ecological harm, make their decisions based on vibes with no understanding of their domain, and their purposes are inscrutable to the average worker. They’re honestly the perfect target for AI because they already behave like AI.
I don’t think I actually want to live in a world where AI is running the show, but I’m not sure it’d be any worse than the current system of letting the most parasitic bloodsucking class of human being call the shots. Maybe we ought to try something else first.
But make sure to tell the board of directors and shareholders how much more profitable they’d be if they didn’t have to buy golden parachutes
I’d say that you could replace quite a few high level academic administrators for these same reasons.
They already behave like AI; but AI would be cheaper, more efficient, and wouldn’t change every 2 years.
And I mean that as an insult to admin, not a compliment to AI.
just edited question to job instead
None. Maybe some middle management, but even then, until AI fixes the hallucinations for good, in useless
I’ve met a few human middle managers who regularly hallucinated, when humans do it we call it “lying” though.
Marketing. I want advertisements to be as soulless as the companies advertised.
They’re slowly making their way through that sector. Coca-Cola just released a fully AI generated Christmas commercial and it shows. Trucks look like a strange assortment of sizes and designs with their wheels not quite working the way they should in real life among other things deeply located in the uncanny valley.
I just considered that at some point advertising will be catering to AIs, if they aren’t already.
All of them. But first we need a basic income on our way away from money.
My greatest fear is we’ll get the robots (like, Animatrix: Second Renaissance of I, Robot general purpose robots) but before we have any sort of progressive change of revolution. That we’ll be one step from a truly carefree life.
The kind of dangerous jobs where people still get payed to risk their life and health.
AI SWAT Teams?
AI Soldiers?
AI Politicians? (assasination risks)
🤔
Last thing we need is a politician that can be copy-pasted.
robot construction workers
robot ocean divers
robot miners
robot truckers
…
drones are already fighting wars, btw
Drones are piloted and controlled by humans, not AI.
Yeah, my first thoughts were search and rescue, underwater welding, mining, etc
Most of those should be replacement with robotics
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.

Lol, that last sentence.
Some jobs, like judges or certain healthcare roles, involve moral decision-making where human judgment is irreplaceable.
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, not because it can’t but because if it does then people won’t be able to make an income. This is already a problem.
None.
Politician
None, as long as society uses labor as a means to secure basic necessities. Shifting that towards some infinitely-scalable capital equipment owned by entities kinda fucks the whole system, don’t it?
Scammers. They are so stupid. AI is much more convincing.
Scam detection would be more helpful
Currently very few jobs should be replaced with AI. But many jobs should be augmented with AI. Human-in-the-loop AI amplify the finate resource of smart humans.
(UK) Government.
It could not be any worse than the most-obvious self-serving pocket-liners of this century.
'murica checking in.
Yeah fuck it: government. Hard to imagine it doing a worse job than we are.
Hat tip from across the pond. 🙏
no way you said this, yeah let’s allow robots to rule over us. We totally don’t have a billion movies and books to show why that is a bad idea
From your style of writing, you’re in your teens, AI suggests. Later you may come to understand irony. Although I confess that I wrote not completely tongue-in-cheek.
You may also understand, that there are 650 elected MPs in parliament. Only a small handful are in the executive Government. The rest of the MPs or junior ministers are either cajoled by past indiscretions, a K, blackmail or thin majorities, to follow party line or are part of His Majesty’s loyal opposition(s). There is room for change in the former, occasionally the trough (or whip) isn’t enticing enough, and the role of HM Opposition is … well … opposition.
You may not realised that continuous raids on personal pensions by successive governments, and starving pensioners - of which I am not one - over the winter is a “bad thing”. It is.
You may have wanted to own a home one day; you’re probably going to be disappointed. I could go on but your friends who are somewhat older than you are probably already saying these things to you. Highest tax burden in living memory …
Meanwhile, the pigs have their snouts firmly in the trough from way before Boris and Starmer all the way through.
The status quo isn’t working. Something has to change.
I really hope that when you reach your twenties or thirties things really have changed, by whatever means necessary.
My first language isn’t english sorry if my writing is not on par with yours. But no i didn’t know this was ironic as some people in this thread seemed to be serious about it. I do understand there are problems with how things are now but AI wouldn’t fix much, maybe it would help for a short while but then it would all go up in pieces.
Requirements revision review. It is the most mind-numbing part of my job and fortunately only a small portion of it.
A word changes, even just punctuation changes, can change the meaning drastically. And finding that change within a hundred page document is a task humans just plain suck at. Get a computer to compare revision A to revision B, highlight the changes, then pass it on to the human to interpret the change and decide what to do from there.
Comparing version A to version B and highlighting the changes is already something software can do, so I hope that you’re already aware of this. But if you’re not, just know that it’s out there! Lol
