I find it interesting for someone who works to develop the technologies that will increasingly replace humans in many tasks that you can be so negative as to the possibilities. Maybe if you were to spend more time at your job and less time posting on SI........

Depends on what you mean by doctorates. one of the last would be those that require post-graduate degrees like doctorates If the degree is simply the accumulation of knowledge like the typical MD, you are dead wrong, that is exactly what AI will replace. If the degree is research oriented, that is definitely a different matter, although AI has already demonstrated the ability to do research.

Of all the jobs that will be replaced by automation, one of the last would be those that require post-graduate degrees like doctorates. ....nonsense.............I know a lot people with doctorates that need no replacement........by automation or otherwise.......................most are libtards in the public sector.

Same point as any technology. They're there to assist the professionals. Some things a robot could do better. Some things are still best left to humans. 7 years ago I was misdiagnosed as requiring Mitral Valve surgery. It was to be done via robotics. My first question was "How may live surgeons will be in the room to supervise the dumb but very accurate machine?" Unfortunately for the robotic arm a live human found a diagnostic error from the "perfect machines and database" due to his experience from observing mitral valve inversions after surgery. He sent me to Denny's with my wife and kids instead of the OR. Since I have some very limited experience with dental implants, my first question to you would be "Would you like a precision robot arm to place your implant from the Chinese machine running on Chinese software that probably contains arsenic or other heavy metals like they put in baby pacifiers and toys or would you prefer a human that has placed several thousand with the help of 3d imaging and scans and has a failure rate of .0001% but is assisted by imaging and technology? I know my answers. (OK Gene C and Shep, go ahead and tell me how I should have died instead of using up insurance for freeloaders and DIMM voters)
