And this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you're a Nerd, chances are likely your job is going to be obsolete during the next 10 years. If your job can be easily done by a computer program or an AI, it is going to disappear quickly.
And if your job can be done by a less educated person with access to AI, it will also disappear.
The jobs that remain will often by those requiring physical labour... But the danger is that those will start to disappear too as robotics starts to catch up with AI. Robotic Servants are already starting to appear, but they're currently expensive. In time the prices will come down, making them more affordable.
And once they start taking all the cleaning jobs, agriculture, mining and manufacturing will follow soon after. But if you're expecting a Utopia where nobody has to work, you're delusional. The wealthy will continue to get richer, but the number of people who are poor will skyrocket and forced to live on government scraps.
