I think education, creative, and social jobs will grow.

Like if AI writes basic code, you might need more educated programmers to find bugs or inefficient things in the code that the AI model made. OpenAI writes credible looking code now but it’s often got subtle mistakes a novice wouldn’t catch. So, programmers might spend more time in college to learn enough to enter the field of editing AI code. Maybe professional degrees become required (like it now for law and medicine) so more expert instructors are needed.

Another scenario where AI creates jobs is creative jobs that currently have a high cost of entry. Like camera filters and video editing software didn’t mean less jobs taking photos and producing videos. It democratized those tasks and allowed for jobs like YouTubers and influencers. Imagine AI tools make video game asset creation and coding relatively trivial and intuitive so games can be made by individuals.

And for services: the cheapest, most efficient way to exercise isn’t group classes but lots of people prefer the communal, human led experience and pay more for it. Therapists. Spa services. Hiking guides. Probably gigolos and male strippers. AI will never replace stud muffins. Any job where old people yell at you and ask for your manager. Only a human can be dehumanized.
