Genuinely curious how. As long as people are doing dumb people shit (and they will) first responders will always be needed until an AI can do it better than a person

Imagine 30% of the workforce displaced. (Financial + service sector is closer to 40%). Unemployment of this size would cause society to collapse. Your skills would be needed but the money you are paid would be worthless.
