[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9513173, member: 42856"] I understand the argument of AI replacing artists (or, actually, lots of workers... do you think surgeon will still be in hot demand when an AI-operating machine can do surgery by moving a robotic instrment better and more accurately than a human hand can ? Or that cab driver will outcompete self-driving car when they are advanced enough to be mass deployed?). It's probable that secretaries are already in much less demand than 50 years ago.
