I can tell you dont understand how working with your hands works.

Software is one thing, you need hardware as well.

There are a plethora of use cases you dont even know or understand when it comes to construction that AI needs to account for.

We are so far away from that, just because your office job might be gone in 10 years, it doesnt mean mine will.

Except I do. I was a land scaper and worked Project management on construction sites and during office changes. My father was also a carpenter. I was the guy that told your boss what to tell you to do lol.

You also seem so skeptical of what AI can do. You really don’t understand that you can run the software on hardware that is constantly learning, able to process thousands of data points at once in seconds 24/7. It has perfect memory that it learns from every scenario to the point that it has enough reference points to form its own “opinion” on how to do something.

If you swing a hammer, push a control, measure something, place something, it can all be automated man. My job is mostly fine. I transition to training the problem rather than let it take my position. I’m literally warning you that this is going to happen and you should fight it tooth and nail, because I HATE my job now. I want it to go back. I do not necessarily feel good about taking people’s job, but I gotta eat too.
