AI is going to take over white collar jobs while robots take over skilled blue collar ones, either outright replacing human or downgrade the position into minimum wage mcjob. The only "professions" that would be safe are the service industry ones where you learn how to asskissing boomers and karens in person.
Oh yeah and there will be no UBI, what a great future we are heading toward.

It's fairly vague as to how close humanity is to creating Artificial General Intelligence. So it's certainly possible that we could make major advancements in AI in the coming decades; but otherwise I think intellectual professions won't be completely automated, at least not for another century or so. For example, Chatgpt makes a lot of factual errors and makes mistakes when given physics and programming problems to solve. So in that context, you could maybe use it as a guide of sorts but human input and correction is still required for any practical use. But I suspect it'll be clearer concerning AGI soon.

don't forget brainwave monitoring headsets, and other transhuman modifications that will make wageslaves more productive (and more submissive, basically mental castration)
Imagine amazon having a clause in the worker contract to be able to access his neurolink with the amazon application that is required for work.

For what its worth, the robots are still a ways off so garbage tier retail and skilled trades jobs will be around for a while. But fucking lmao if you're a professional email sender or spreadsheet jockey (me).

Yeah we'll see about that buckaroo. Lots of people won't go down without a fight and this is just asking for a hacker and hacker AI paradise.
