Reply to comment by Courtside237 in Is AI coming for your job? Tech experts weigh in: "They don't replace human labor" by Everest518

No, this is far oversimplified. If your job requires a ton of negotiation and coordination between stakeholders and clarification of requirements, AI that can do that is a long way off. You will have new tools to make parts of your job easier, but by the time AI comes for those jobs, you’re looking at a radically different situation where your career is the least of your worries.

When you count the years you spent as a child learning manual dexterity, almost no jobs fit into this category. Easy for humans is not the same as easy for machines. See Moravec’s paradox

The working from home thing seemed out of nowhere and like a personal jealous jab lol.

Those jobs aren’t typically work from home careers. “Negotiations and coordination between stakeholders and clarification of requirements” would be done in person, regardless that it’s just a bunch of words clumped together. Whatever you say though. I can learn to make subs at subway in a day or two. Go ahead and pretend those jobs are complex. Whatever helps you sleep at night

My job requires exactly what I said. I'm a software engineer. I do it from home, often from across the continent.
