I don't understand why we need to up skill. It seems to me like the most difficult jobs ai and robotics in particular have problems solving involve dexterity like small parts repair or confined spaces and non standard circumstances.

Instead of needing to upskill why not think about jobs that robots will have a hard time with for the time being. All jobs will likely be aided in ai assistants any way. So white collar jobs will have to get hands dirty until no one does. And yes I'm thinking of building trades, mechanical, construction and other type jobs.

Dexterity issues will be solved by robots / AI right around the same time we have AGI.

Yup, that's my hunch. White collar jobs maybe doomed in 5-10 years. But hands on jobs will stay since its very expensive to build and maintain a robot compared to paying a human to do it for $15/hour.

The offense closing statement aside, is OP actually wrong? Genuinely asking.

Took a dark turn at the end (pointlessly) but the rest isn't far off the mark.

Well the first two sentences I can get behind. But having an AI assistant would help most anyone be helpful. So no five years required to be an apprentice like position.

My understanding with how fast AI technologies are advancing is that why would anyone want to upskill if it cost money when AI would make that job less profitable or completely unnecessary as it would be performed by an almost free and speedy ai.

So like many I don't have the answer but I wouldn't spend money to up skill. Only my take.
