I am a self-employed finish carpenter, electrician, tiler, painter, drywaller, flooring guy, appliance installer, etc. 35+ years in, make good bux. Mostly work for rich boomer retirees. AI aint gonna replace my crusty ass. Can robots do it someday? Maybe in 10 years. By then I will probably be dead. If not, I will tend bar, or become a hobo.
I also play various instruments with a few bands a few times a month. Live music has slowed down but will never die, esp. in tourist areas. AI can suck my fat hawg.
The fear of automation has hung over my profession since long before AI. Been hearing it for 20 years now. Ten years ago there was a panic because it seemed as though it was happening (Theranos). Look how that turned out, lol.
