Okay I know we software developers are already being automated, LLM can do lots of what we do, at least better than some of us, to an extent.
I don’t think translators, writers, logo/image designers are having an easy time either, even video/film makers. To certain extent, some are already replaced.
So what do you all think will be the professions first to go?
With the emergence of AI, which professions would be first to go?

I have been thinking about this quiet a bit and I think these are the professions that are bound to go first
1. **Software developers**: Tools like Cursor already allow me to write code 10x faster. I believe in the future, software developers would be more like product managers just telling AI what to code. Software engineers would probably not be fully eliminated but you’d prob need 1 instead of 10?
2. **Radiologists:** I think Doctors as a whole is going to be very tough to replace because anything that requires interacting with the physical world (surgeries etc) is tougher to create and takes more time. That said specialties like radiology where your job is just reading an Xray will 100% be replaced by AI
3. **Content Writers:** Content writing is a $400 billion industry and this is already being disrupted by tools like Wosily. AI can easily write content better than humans already.
4. **Graphic Designers:** Similar to content writing, tools like Playground can create art and design better than human beings already
5. **Corporate Lawyers:** I think people would still need lawyers to go to court etc but a lot of corporate law is just reviewing paper work, easily replaceable by AI
My nephew is a sales rep for a robotics spine surgery product and it is getting closer to be automated so i don’t see medical as protected as we think
Analytical Psychologists/psychiatrists doing diagnosis could go, but AI generally does not work at performing therapy, based on some studies. Knowing you are speaking and being heard by an actual human is crucial to psychotherapy
I think any basic copy writing will go firstly, and honestly has been anyway before this AI craze in subtle ways, such as autocorrect and autosuggestion
Not a huge fan of cutting every job that’s not basically a manager of a LLM, personally
Most of Customer Support – Call Centers will look very different within 5-10 years, if not sooner.
People will get caught off guard big time on this.
Source: currently working to set up a system to handle most customer inquiries.
AI will replace all thinking, talking, or clerical jobs (ie, lawyers, artists, management, sales, customer service, engineers, logistics, CEOs, etc) and Robotics will replace all manufacturing or physical jobs (ie, construction, trades, manufacturing, service industries, etc).
Truck drivers.
People use the word automation too loosely. AI is nowhere near taking any job but the demand of those same jobs will be lower that’s for sure.
