If one is afraid they will be replaced by AI, one should learn some new skills. Like programming AI.
AI will be programming AI. That's the point. There is no job that's going to be safe. Nothing weird about it. Technology keeps improving. Learning new skills won't help if robots, computers, and other machines will be able to do the jobs faster, better, and cheaper than people. People simply won't be needed. Employers want to cut labor costs and produce goods and services faster and better. People won't be able to compete with AI because of that. Also, AI doesn't need to stop work to sleep, or take a vacation. Also, AI doesn't complain or whine like people do. It just does its job.

No, the same thing won't be happening over and over. With past and present technologies it is not possible to fully automate jobs. But as technology gets more sophisticated, that will become possible. Burying your head in the sand and saying that ain't so is not realistic. People won't be able to compete with AI because AI will do jobs faster, better, and cheaper than people.

LOL. Sound so good. Should make these words with some pictures on TV or Youtube as a great Ad and make good money.

Yes, it would make a great ad, but not for the general public, only for employers. Shhh.. ordinary people should not watch this. But employers will love it. Pass them some popcorn and some soda as they watch and laugh with pleasure.
