I would definately take that bet. Software development is not the job most people think it is, even at the junior level. The thing that most outside of the field dont know about is that the hardest part is figuring out what needs to be done, not how to do it / code it.

Ive seen some impressive and revolutionary stuff from generative AI.. and have been studying it and using it much longer than most here on Reddit, but what Ive learned is that generative AI is really not as job-destroying as people are hyping it to be. The ceo of OpenAI has said this -- GPT4 is going to let some people down, because its not an AGI.

Which is actually a lot more people than you think, all over the world. Elderly care in particular is insanely expensive.. and automating some of this work is probably one of the best applications of robotics. It would be a game changer technology.

Your example with the toilet bed robot being "degenerate" is a lousy one. Something like that would be a tremendous beneficial application for hospitals and nursing homes. Also it might even let some elderly people live longer in their own homes.

Unless you are worried for the jobs of those nursing staff who have to take care of that mess.

Not really.. business has always had goals to eliminate the jobs that were automated by computer programs. There were many newspaper and magazine articles on this topic. We just didnt hear the cacophany of doom in those early days because social media wasn't around.

Look at those people now, though. Are they better off or worse?

People said the same things about the personal computer when they were first being adopted. Look where we are now. Also look through history at almost every advancement in technology that automated jobs. The economy will move on and innovation will bring new opportunities for employment.
